NOTE TO READERS AND USERS:


DNA-based Wellness services and reports fall under general wellness guidelines. They are not a medical condition, and they can not be used for treatment.

When it comes to handling personal data, we put our best efforts to follow the best practices in the healthcare industry, including Privacy Principles that fall under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ) and HIPAA (Personal Health Information Privacy and Access Act - Canada).

To make it simple, those frameworks are based on a few main principles which we also follow:

  1. Companies don't take your data without your consent

  2. The purpose of data collection is clear

  3. Collected information is stored securely and it is protected per industry standards

  4. You have access to your information

  5. Information can get corrected when requested or needed

  6. Information is used only for the purpose that it was collected

  7. The information is anonymized with a unique identifier, so when it is used for research or other necessary purposes to deliver the service, it is not linked to your personally identifiable information


On top of that, we don't collect data about children under 18 years old.

Now that the main rules are reviewed, let's get into more details of it. Don't forget to review Terms of Use as well.
