You misunderstand. Hints work by automating the search function for
those sites. The info Legacy sends out is similar to the data you have
to manually submit to the site in order to do a search of their records.
Data on one person at a time is sent in a single transmission, there is
no giant submission of all the data from your file in one big lump. In
fact the hint sites also want Legacy to control how often a search is
performed, that is why in the hint settings you can only set the refresh
(ie. the time between searches for the same person) time at a minimum of
30 days.
The benefit of hinting is that Hints submit these search requests and
accumulate the responses (hits) on your behalf without you having to sit
at your computer: submitting searches for each person, analyzing each
screen full of responses and updating your data from those results.
Hints let you know there is a potential match but you can investigate
those at your leisure.

So hinting sites only give hints if I have uploaded a gedcom to them?
I thought Legacy V9 hints sent some info up so they could tell if they
had hints. Then I could decide to subscribe if I wanted to get the
info. More confused now. Not sure what Legacy is giving me.

Subject: [LegacyUG] V9 Hinting
I'm a little confused about the hinting in V9 and the concerns about
MyHeritate getting and publishing users' data. Is there any way that the
"hinting sites" can use my Legacy database data for their own use?
Put it on their site? Or do they just look at it and suggest hints that only
I see?
(I tried to ask this question-twice-during Geoff's last Webinar but got no
answer.)
