Terms of Service

The agreement between us.

Last updated 04 Aug 2026

What HeritageMingle is

HeritageMingle is a Heritage Relationship and Genealogy Platform. You use it to document your family record, find your communities, meet other members, and, with mutual consent, compare family histories. Membership is voluntary and free at the base level.

Who can use it

You must be 18 or older to create an account. If we learn that an under-18 has signed up, we remove the account.

What we do not say

We do not state that two members are biologically related on the basis of what members submit. We do not tell anyone they are safe to marry. We do not replace medical, legal, or genetic advice. Every Heritage Check we run carries this disclaimer alongside its result.

Your record, your data

You own what you submit. You can request a copy of everything on your account at any time from Settings. You can delete your account and we remove your data (with a short grace period for accidental deletion).

Community conduct

You agree to follow the Community guidelines. Harassment, impersonation, scams, hate speech, or content involving minors will result in removal.

Payments

Premium features, AI credits, and marketplace fees are charged through a payment provider (currently PayPal). Purchased credits do not expire. Promotional credits may. Refund requests reach us at hello@heritagemingle.com and are handled case by case.

Third-party integrations

Some features use external providers: PayPal for payments, mail providers for email, an AI provider for the Research Assistant, an SMS provider for phone verification. These providers have their own privacy terms, linked from their own notices.

Termination

You can leave at any time. We can suspend or remove an account that breaks these terms or the community guidelines. If we act, we say why.

Changes to these terms

When these terms change materially we email registered members before the change takes effect. Continued use after the change means you accept the update.
