Hi there! It sounds like you’re really concerned about someone stealing or sharing your family history from MyHeritage. I want to understand a bit more to help you effectively. Could you tell me a bit about what you mean by "she steals my family history"? For example, is someone accessing your family tree without your permission, or are you worried about how MyHeritage itself handles your information?

In the meantime, I can share some useful steps and information about privacy on MyHeritage that can help protect your data and family history.

1. Review Your Privacy Settings:
MyHeritage allows you to control who can view your family tree and personal details. You can restrict access to just yourself or trusted family members, rather than having it publicly accessible. You can check and modify this in the site or app settings under Privacy.

2. Manage Sharing Permissions:
If you don’t want your family members or potential relatives to find and view your tree automatically, there are options to disable “Smart Matching” and DNA sharing features, limiting how your data is shared.

3. Change Account Credentials:
If you suspect someone unauthorized might be accessing your account (like the person you mentioned), it’s a good idea to update your password to a strong, unique one. Also, enable two-factor authentication if available for extra security.

4. Understand MyHeritage’s Privacy Policy:
MyHeritage is transparent about how they use and protect your data, including not selling your DNA data without explicit consent. You can read their detailed Privacy Policy here for reassurance and specifics.

5. Contact MyHeritage Support if Needed:
If you’re experiencing unauthorized access or sharing, MyHeritage has a dedicated support team who can investigate and assist. You can email [email protected] for direct help.

Would you like me to guide you through checking your privacy settings or changing your password? Also, any additional details you provide about what’s happening will help me assist you better.

Are you concerned about misuse by another MyHeritage user, or suspicious that the app/platform itself is sharing your data improperly?
