Good luck on opting out. I’ve been trying to get the crap taken off there that my self-absorbed estranged sister put up to no avail. She posted both her nephew and niece’s birthdays incorrectly.
The ones that worry me encourage DNA testing.
Thanks for posting.
A relative sent me the app form, and I joined but sent them no data.
Something didn’t feel right, and I never sent any data.

Never use mother’s maiden name or like identifiers fir password protection. Too many people know that information, anyway.
Thanks for posting this, I was able to opt out the other day. Our data was removed within 24 hours.
But, when you opt out, you can remove all your relatives too.
Query your name in a day or two, they say it takes 2 weeks but it seems to be removed sooner. I will continue to check it though.
I opted out for me and my wife. She has chosen to not have any contact with her dad for 6 years now. Since then we’ve had a couple of kids and moved to a different town. She doesn’t want him to know anything about us, or at least as little as possible.
I was impressed it traced my tree back to Moses.

bump for later
Just from your birth certificate recorded in the county where you were born, it has your full name, your birthdate, your gender, your race, your parent's names, their address(es) and even your mother's maiden name.
Not sure what the big deal is if it is already in the public realm. Nothing you can do about it anyway.
Unless, of course, you're Barack Obama and alter your official long-form birth certificate and secure away under lock and key at the cost of two million dollars, all of the rest of your private personal history information to hide it from the public.
