If there is a chance that the person you match might decide to make their DNA results “private,” take a screen shot of the details of their match (including their tree) while it is still public. Sometimes for one reason or another a person decides to make some or all of the information they have attached to their DNA results private. If you wait to take a screen shot of that information it may disappear.
Don’t wait.

What would be your clues that they “might” make their tree private? Unless they said so, of course.
One time it could potentially happen if the match is a “surprise,” one that you didn’t know about that perhaps was a child of a close relative no one knew about. Or maybe if in the discussion with the person it becomes clear that the person has discovered an incorrect parentage in their close background. Some people respond positively to these situations and some do not.
