This page answers the questions people usually have about their data when they visit lithuanianrootsproject.com/. It was last updated in October 2026.
Who runs this site, and how do I reach them?
The Lithuanian Roots Editorial Team publishes the site. You can write to contact@lithuanianrootsproject.com with any privacy question.
What information do you collect?
- What you send. If you email us, we receive your address and your message, and we use them to reply and to fix or improve the site.
- What the server logs. Our hosting and WordPress software may record technical details such as your IP address, browser and the pages you request, mainly for security and to keep the site running.
- What you hand over for a download or newsletter. If we offer one, we collect the email address you give and use it to send what you asked for, and you can unsubscribe whenever you like.
What do cookies do here?
Cookies set by WordPress and its plugins keep the site working. We may also use analytics or advertising services, and if we do, those services set their own cookies and their own policies apply. You can block or delete cookies in your browser, though parts of the site may then behave oddly.
Do other companies see my visit?
If you click an affiliate link, such as one to MyHeritage, that company may set a cookie to record that you came from us, and its own privacy policy then governs what it collects. We do not control other companies’ practices, so it is worth reading their policies. Our affiliate disclosure explains how we earn from those links.
Will you sell my personal information?
No. We use personal data only for the purposes above, and we share it only with providers that help us run the site, such as hosting and email services, or when the law requires it.
How long do you keep it?
We keep messages and subscriber details only for as long as we need them for the purpose you gave them for, or as the law requires, and we delete them on request where we are able to.
What rights do I have?
Depending on where you live, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and California, you may be able to ask to see the personal data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, object to a use or restrict it. Write to the address above and we will respond within the time the law sets.
Is this site for children?
It is not aimed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
When does this policy change?
If we change it, we will update the date at the top of this page.
