These dates have been added by other relatives in my family. i would like them removed them removed from public access and only seen by me. Reputable genealogy sites do not make information on living persons available.

Jeff, Geni Curator Information on living persons is not publicly available. This information is private and visible to members of your family group - see http://www.geni.com/company/privacy. You may want to log out of Geni, then attempt to view such profiles. The exception is information that you may make public for your own profile, which is configured in your account settings:
* http://www.geni.com/account_settings/profile_privacy
* http://www.geni.com/account_settings/permissions
Some members will search for their name in Google and because they have their permission set to allow the public to search for them, will find their profile. Then they click the link in Google and they see all their info (because they're logged into Geni as themselves) and assume this is what the public can see, which is not the case.

mary strovink daukas My personal information is being made public. I want my information and that of my parents to be private. This is what I found on Google :

Mary (Lynn), Lynnette Strovink-Daukas was born to Florian (Bud), Augustus Strovink and Ruby, May Barker.

Jeff, Geni Curator Your parents names are public because they are deceased and that is the default on profiles marked as deceased, but that can be changed by editing the profile and selecting private. Your name is searchable because of your permissions: https://www.geni.com/account_settings/permissions
Uncheck "Let the public search for me (profile privacy settings apply)"
Also review https://www.geni.com/account_settings/profile_privacy
I also see you have a pending merge with your old tree. I'll approve that for you and get it merged.

Jeff, Geni Curator Do note that results in Google and MyHeritage are cached and may take time for the privacy changes to propagate to these other sites.

Jeff, Geni Curator You probably also want to do this:
In your Account Settings, click “Managed Profiles”. Uncheck the checkbox next to “Include private profiles I manage in MyHeritage SuperSearch™"
