No, you do not have to have uploaded a gedcom to get hints. You are seeing hints from other people's trees. Look at it this way...
You could go to MyHeritage and fill in their search fields, names, dates, locations, and then MyHeritage will tell you if they have anything in their databases that matches. They don't keep the information you entered in those search fields. It is the same thing with hinting. They look at what you have and then they generate results but they can't collect/keep the data in your file. It is all handled by a computer algorithm. In the case of MyHeritage you will see two different kinds of hints. You will see hints to documents and hints to trees that people have uploaded to MyHeritage.

""No access to my Legacy data."" 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.
