Privacy & Security

• Your raw DNA file (it never leaves your device)
• Individual SNP genotypes (processed locally, never transmitted)
• Your name, email, or identity (unless you explicitly sign up for updates)
• Browser fingerprints or tracking pixels

• Anonymous usage analytics: page views, button clicks (via privacy-focused analytics)
• Email (optional): if you sign up for updates or purchase a premium report
• Payment info: processed by Stripe (PCI-compliant), we never see your card details

• HTTPS everywhere: all connections encrypted with TLS 1.3
• No third-party trackers: no Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or ad networks
• Open source parser: you can audit our DNA parsing code on GitHub
• Minimal dependencies: we don't use bloated libraries that could leak data

For users who want advanced features (GWAS cross-reference across 1M+ associations, PDF generation, email delivery), we offer optional server-side processing. Here's how it works:

• Encrypted upload: your file is transmitted over HTTPS to our secure server
• Ephemeral processing: we analyze your DNA, generate the report, then immediately delete your file
• Zero retention: we do not store your raw DNA data or individual SNPs
• Report delivery: your PDF is emailed to you and stored temporarily (7 days) for re-download, then deleted

You choose: free client-side (100% private) or paid server-side (advanced features, still ephemeral).

• GDPR compliant: we minimize data collection and respect your right to deletion
• HIPAA-aligned: we treat genetic data with medical-grade privacy standards
• No data sales: we will never sell, share, or license your genetic data to third parties
• Law enforcement: we have no genetic data to hand over (client-side processing)

We believe genetic research advances humanity. If we ever use anonymized, aggregated data for research:

• You will opt-in explicitly (never automatic)
• Data will be fully anonymized (no individual identification possible)
• We will publish our methodology and make findings public

As of now, we are not conducting any research using user data.
