Terms of Use

Last updated: 25 July 2026. Bloomsly is a free tool made by one person. These terms are short and deliberately readable.

1. Using Bloomsly

Bloomsly is provided free of charge for personal family history use. You don't need an account to use the family tree itself. By using it, you agree to these terms.

2. Your data is your responsibility

Bloomsly stores your family tree in your own browser and keeps no copy. That has an important consequence: if you clear your browser data, lose your device, or use a different browser, your tree may be gone and we cannot recover it for you. Please use the Export button to keep your own backups. You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of anything you care about.

3. Information about other people

Family trees contain information about relatives. You are responsible for the information you enter and for how you share it. Please be considerate with data about living people, don't upload anything you don't have the right to use, and honour requests from relatives who ask to be removed. See our Privacy Policy for more.

4. Acceptable use

Don't use Bloomsly to store or distribute unlawful content, to harass anyone, or to attempt to attack, overload, or reverse the service into something harmful to others.

5. No warranty

Bloomsly is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. It is an early-stage project that changes frequently; features may change or be removed, and it may contain errors or be unavailable at times.

6. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bloomsly and its developer will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or for any loss of data, family records, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use Bloomsly — including data loss caused by clearing your browser, device failure, or a bug. Because Bloomsly is provided free of charge, our total aggregate liability to you is limited to CAD $0, or the amount you have actually paid us in the preceding twelve months, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of the above may not apply to you; nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

7. Donations

Donations are voluntary, are not payment for goods or services, do not purchase any feature or guarantee, and are generally non-refundable. They are processed by Stripe under its own terms. If a donation was made in error, contact us and we'll try to help.

8. Third-party services

Bloomsly relies on third parties (hosting, CDNs, a form relay, and a payment processor) listed in the Privacy Policy. Their availability and conduct are outside our control.

9. Intellectual property

The Bloomsly name, logo, design, and source code are © 2026 the Bloomsly developer, all rights reserved. You may use the app; you may not copy, re-host, or redistribute the application or its code, or use the Bloomsly name or branding for your own product, without permission.

Your family tree data is yours. We claim no ownership over anything you create or import, and we never receive it.

10. Changes and availability

We may update these terms or change, suspend, or discontinue Bloomsly at any time. Material changes will be reflected in the date above. Keeping your own exported backups protects you if the service ever goes away.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Canada and of the province in which the developer resides, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
