No Warranty of Accuracy
Rodovid is a collaborative wiki. Content is generated, edited, and maintained by a global community of users.
Errors and Omissions: While we strive for historical integrity, Rodovid does not verify the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any genealogical data, family trees, or historical claims posted on the site.
Conflicting Data: You may encounter conflicting lineages, disputed parentage, or legendary/mythological entries. Rodovid acts as a platform for research and does not serve as an official historical authority.

Security & Automated Access
To protect the integrity of the database as a "Trust Resource," we employ advanced security protocols.
Security Challenges: We utilize filtering and challenge-response mechanisms (such as JavaScript verification and not only) to manage high-volume traffic.
Bot Policy: Unauthorized automated harvesting (scraping) that bypasses these security layers is strictly prohibited. We reserve the right to block IP addresses or networks that threaten system stability or violate our security policies.
