No account, on principle
Why Genea World asks for no account
Creating an account means entrusting your data to a server — and turning that server into a target. Major genealogy platforms have learned this the hard way: a centralised account database can be hacked and expose millions of people.
MyHeritage
The email addresses and (hashed) passwords of 92 million accounts were found on an external server.
23andMe
An attack exposed the personal and genetic data of several million users.
Genea World removes the risk at its root: no account, no database, so nothing to hack. Your data stays on your device — GDPR-friendly by design.
