GenoEasy stores all your genograms and working data exclusively on your local computer. No genogram data is transmitted to servers or cloud services.

License Activation

During license activation, the following data is transmitted to our license server:

  • Your license key
  • An anonymized hash of your device (for device binding)

No personal data, genogram content or other sensitive information is transmitted. After successful activation, the software is fully usable offline.

Trial Version

To limit the free trial to one device, a technical device identifier derived from browser properties (screen resolution, browser identifier, graphics characteristics) is generated upon first launch and stored in encrypted form on our servers. This identifier is used solely to enforce the 14-day limit and is not linked to personal data. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in preventing misuse).

This website is hosted by an external service provider (host). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host's servers.

Click statistics for social media links

When you follow a link we share on social networks (e.g. LinkedIn, Facebook), we redirect you to the target page via an internal redirect. In doing so, we only count anonymously how often a link was clicked and via which source. No personal data is stored — in particular no IP address and no identifier that would allow conclusions to be drawn about your person. The count serves solely to measure the reach of our content.

Without the voluntary entry of your email address the feedback cannot be attributed to any person, and it is not linked to your licence or trial access. Independently of this, submitting any form causes the server to log the usual access data including your IP address for technical reasons — see section 5 ("Server log files").
