I spent many hours putting together a family tree on Geni, using my years of research of family history. I did this for myself and my family but not that other people have the ability to update, add information, edit, or view without my permission. I constantly got emails from geni that a bunch of people request information to manage or update a profile. I never granted anybody any permission, but somehow when i go to my geni account there are a ton of people who viewed, edited, added people, information on my account.!  If anyone knows how to undo what anyone else did to my account and how to prevent it from happening again in the future can please help me. 

Thanks!

  Sorry I do not see any changes to your account from other users, did you mean changes to the tree?

  Please see https://www.geni.com/privacy to see what others can do.

  Maybe Geni is not the platform for you.

  I have the same type of comment as Boruch - I am constantly getting notifications of duplicates or inconsistencies in my tree. I have not allowed anyone access to my tree and I am afraid that valuable information has been altered. I would like to renew my tree from the site before it is damaged without repair. I ALWAYS refuse merge notices.

  Geni is a platform to work together with others on expanding the Geni World tree.

  If you are afraid of changes by others please add sources for all profiles you add. That way it is always clear which information is correct and which is not. It also helps to prevent mistakes by other users

  The Geni World Tree is big so there are many profiles which have the same names and without sources it is very easy to make mistakes. It also helps to add as much information as possible. Profiles with only a few fields filled  or with missing relations are much more likely to be confused.
