DNA Privacy: How We Protect Your Most Personal Data
5 January 2026AdminMedical Insights

- Clinical Grade vs. At-Home Kits
Unlike consumer “ancestry” kits, our hospital-grade testing is protected by strict medical privacy laws (like HIPAA). We do not sell your data to third parties or pharmaceutical companies. - Understanding the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA)
In many regions, laws like GINA protect you from being denied health insurance or employment based on your genetic results. We explain exactly what protections apply to you. - Encryption and Anonymization
Your DNA data is stored on ultra-secure, encrypted servers. For research purposes, data is “de-identified,” meaning your name and identity are completely removed from the genetic sequence. - Your Rights to Your Own Genomic Information
At our hospital, you own your data. You have the right to request your raw DNA files and to decide who—among your medical team—is allowed to view them.
