Privacy

In short: your raw DNA file is read in memory and discarded the moment your report is built. We never store it, never sell it, never share it.

What we process, and what we keep

When you upload a 23andMe/Ancestry raw file, it is parsed entirely in memory to build your report and then discarded within the same request. We do not write your raw file or your genotypes to any disk, database, or log.

We keep something only if you explicitly ask us to. If you submit the "Watch my genome" form, we store only two things: your email address and the specific marker list (rsID → genotype) shown in your report, so we can notify you of relevant new research. Nothing else.

We do not sell or share your data

We do not and will not sell or share your personal information or your genetic information, to anyone, for any purpose — this includes the CCPA definitions of "sell" and "share." Your genetic data is treated as sensitive personal information.

Retention & your control

If you subscribed, we keep your email + marker list until you delete it. You can delete everything we hold, at any time, with no questions, at /unsubscribe. Deletion is immediate and permanent.

You may request access to, or deletion of, your data (CCPA/GDPR rights) using the same page or by contacting us below.

Third parties

Report pages link to retailers (Amazon, iHerb) via affiliate links. Following a link is your choice and sends no genetic data to those retailers. Citations link to PubMed. We run no third-party advertising or analytics that receive your genetic data.
