Terms of use

On this page

Last updated: Oct 12, 2026

These terms govern your use of Genealogy Researcher at genealogy.junowoz.com and its connection to AI assistants. The service is operated by Juan Gouvêa, operating as Juno Woz in Brazil (“we”). By creating an account or by using the service through an AI assistant, you accept these terms.

The service

Genealogy Researcher is a research workspace. You upload family trees as GEDCOM files. Your AI assistant can then search them, analyze them and keep research notes. It can also search a few open sources and build search links for record sites. The service is a free beta. We can change it, limit it or stop it. We do not promise any level of availability.

The service does not give professional genealogical, legal or medical advice. Tree data and AI answers can be wrong. They are leads, not proof. You are responsible for checking conclusions against the records.

Who can use it

You must be at least 16 years old. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian allows you to use the service.

Your account

You sign in with a code sent to your email address. Keep access to that mailbox secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us at inbox@junowoz.com if you think someone else used it.

Your content

You keep all rights in the files and notes you upload or write. You give us a limited license to store, process and display them, and to send them to your AI assistant and to the people you share them with, only to run the service for you.

You confirm that you have the right to upload your content and to share it with the people you invite. This applies to data about other people, living or dead. You are also responsible for the terms of the site or program from which you exported the data.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • upload data that you have no right to share, including data you took from a service in breach of its terms;
  • use the service to harass, stalk, threaten or expose a living person, or to find a person who does not want to be found;
  • scrape the service, or use it to collect data in bulk from other sites;
  • try to read another user’s data, or to bypass access controls, limits or security;
  • send malware or content that breaks the law;
  • overload the service or avoid its rate limits;
  • use the service to decide on credit, employment, insurance or housing for any person.

Projects and sharing

The owner of a project decides who joins and can remove any tree from the project. Editors can add trees they own and remove their own trees. An invite link works for anyone who holds it until it expires or reaches its use limit. Treat it like a password. Members can read the trees and entries of the project according to their role, including the trees that editors add, and what a person has seen cannot be taken back. Owners are responsible for what they share and with whom. Members must respect the privacy of the people in the trees.

AI assistants and other services

You use ChatGPT, Claude and similar assistants under their own terms. We do not control them or their answers. Open sources and record sites have their own terms. Genealogy Researcher is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI, Anthropic, FamilySearch, Ancestry, MyHeritage, Geni, WikiTree or any archive. Their names belong to their owners.

Suspension and ending

You can stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts the service or other people at risk. If we end the beta, we will try to give at least 30 days’ notice by email and a way to export your data.

No warranty and limits on liability

The service is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Our total liability for the service is limited to the amount you paid for it, which is zero for free use. These limits do not apply where the law does not allow them. Your rights under Brazilian consumer law are not affected.

Software license

The source code is open source under the MIT license at github.com/junowoz/genealogy. These terms govern the hosted service.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Brazil. Write to us first at inbox@junowoz.com so that we can try to solve a problem together.

Changes

When we change these terms, we update the date above. If you keep using the service after a change, you accept the new terms. For a material change we notify account holders by email.
