Removing yourself, step by step

  1. 01

    Visit https://www.ancestry.com/legal/ccpa-donotshare-sell and submit the do-not-sell/share opt-out (or rely on your browser's Global Privacy Control signal, which Ancestry says it honors automatically).

  2. 02

    To delete your tree/DNA/account, log in and use Account Settings (https://www.ancestry.com/account).

  3. 03

    Contact Member Services (https://www.ancestry.com/support/s/contactsupport) for DNA sample destruction or removal of third-party-sourced records that mention you but aren't part of your own account.

Data brokers re-list. Check again in 30–60 days.

Re-listing risk for this site: Low for deleted accounts; indexed public-record mentions may persist.
