This Privacy Policy explains how I Can Take It From Here (“I,” “me,” “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit icantakeitfromhere.com or work with me for genealogy research or consulting services.

Who I am

I Can Take It From Here is a genealogy research service operated by Wendy Scalfaro. If you have any questions about this policy or your information, email me at wendy@icantakeitfromhere.com.

Information I collect

Information you give me directly. When you contact me, sign up for my email list, or book a consultation, I may collect your name, email address, and any details you choose to share about your family history project.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, this site uses cookies and analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are viewed. This may include your device type, browser, approximate location, and the pages you visit.

How I use your information

• To respond to your questions and provide the research or consulting services you request
• To send you emails you have signed up for (you can unsubscribe at any time)
• To understand and improve how the website performs
• To meet legal and record-keeping obligations

Genealogy research and confidentiality

Family history work often involves personal and family information. I treat the details you share about your research with care and confidentiality. I do not sell your information, and I do not publicly share your private family information.

Cookies

This site uses cookies (small files stored by your browser) to make the site work properly and to measure website traffic. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings and through the cookie consent banner on this site.

Third-party services

I use trusted third-party services to run this website and business, which may process limited data on my behalf, including:

• Website hosting — to keep the site online and secure
• Google Analytics — to measure website traffic
• Email marketing — to manage my newsletter and send emails you have requested

Each of these providers maintains its own privacy policy governing how it handles data.

Email marketing

If you join my email list, I will send occasional updates. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time.

How long I keep your information

I keep your information only as long as needed to provide services, comply with legal obligations, or for as long as you remain subscribed to my email list.

Your rights

You may ask me to access, correct, or delete the personal information I hold about you, or to stop contacting you. To make a request, email wendy@icantakeitfromhere.com.

Children’s privacy

This site and my services are intended for adults. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
