Privacy of personal information is an important issue. Gramps provides tools and settings that give you control over the privacy of your data.

* {{man label|Living People}} How to handle living people. You can control the display of sensitive information based on whether or not an individual is currently alive. However, since Gramps is a research tool, it is likely that there are individuals with no known date of death in your database. To deduce if an individual is ''possibly still alive'' Gramps employs an algorithm that compares death dates, birth dates, baptism/christening dates, death dates of ancestors and birth dates of ancestors. The algorithm assumes that each individual is ''possibly still alive'' unless the cross-referenced dates make the individual’s ''possibility of being alive'' unlikely.

**'''Exclude''' – (Default) Excludes all information of all individuals who are ''[[Gramps_5.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Probably_Alive|possibly still alive]]''

**'''Include''' – Include all information of all individuals even if they are ''possibly still alive''

* {{man menu|Years from death to consider living:}} (<code>30</code> default) This option is inactive if the "Living People" option is set to '''Include'''. {{man warn|Some countries have laws that specify a certain number of years after death before an individual's information can be published. Here you can specify the number of years after death needed to comply with such laws.}}
