What's Going On?
Ancestry.com is the world’s largest for-profit genealogy company, offering users access to genealogical records and DNA testing.

Companies that share their customers’ data are required by law to obtain users’ consent. Data allegedly shared by Ancestry.com may include detailed histories about account registration, purchases, and other sensitive information.

Zimmerman Reed has led numerous online privacy cases against corporations that shared consumer data with third parties in violation of privacy laws. Zimmerman Reed has also partnered with another consumer rights firm, Janove PLLC, for this case. Together, we have the experience needed to stand up to corporations that may be violating consumer online privacy.
What Legal Rights Do I Have?
Ancestry.com requires its users to agree to terms and conditions that direct claims to be resolved through individual arbitration, rather than in court. Our law firms have extensive experience handling consumer arbitrations, and we are here to help consumers interested in presenting such claims to recover compensation for their losses. Some privacy laws provide for statutory damages up to $500. However, we cannot guarantee any outcome, and you may receive nothing or substantially less than the maximum amount.
What Fees or Costs Do Zimmerman Reed and Janove PLLC Charge?
You will not be responsible for any fees or costs unless we obtain compensation for you. Our firms will advance any costs to submit and resolve your claim, including any arbitration fees.
Ultimately, should you choose to settle your case, our firms would be entitled to a contingency fee based on the value of your settlement. The choice to accept a monetary settlement is yours and yours alone.
What Should I Do Next?
