Notes
When using the Family Group Worksheet Mod, be aware that this mod does NOT HIDE the persons that are marked living or private!!

Purpose of the Mod

This Mod changes how TNG shows personal information of private and living persons.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) states that personal data of living people may only be disclosed after explicit written consent of the person. However, there is no protection for personal data of death people.

This mod uses the Living and Private flag for hiding or showing the persons and links. You have to apply the private and living flags to the persons in order to hide these persons with this mod.

In TNG you can mark persons private or living. Although it will hide personal information for that person it still reveals information about the relationship for this person and if exists further hierarchy information. This mod hides anything that could possibly reveal personal information that according to GDPR is not allowed or debatable.

The mod does the following:

  1. It does not show children if they are marked living or private in the family section of a person page and the related descendant pages and family group page. The default behaviour of TNG is that for living and private marked children you will see for such a child 'Living' or 'Private' including a link to the person page of the child. This means that you still reveal information on the number of children for a family and if exist relations of this child. By using this Mod children are not shown and no hyperlink will exist to the child person page.
  2. It removes the hyperlink on the person pages for father/mother/spouses if they are marked living or private. You will still see the indication if father/mother/spouses are marked living or private but the hyperlink is removed.
  3. It removes the hyperlink on all other pages for persons marked living or private. You will still see the indication Living or Private but there is no hyperlink to the respected person page.
