Rest assured that you, and your data are safe.
When it comes to your personal data, you should always be in control. That’s why we’ve answered a few of the most common questions you may have about how we handle your data:
What happens to my DNA kit after it’s analyzed?
Your saliva sample is destroyed by the lab after they send it to us to upload it to your account, and safely discarded to ensure your privacy protection.
How do I delete my DNA file from all of your servers?
Reach out to Customer Service with your request, and our representatives will quickly remove your personal data from our system and delete your SelfDecode account.
Can my DNA kit be traced back to me?
We do not associate names with DNA kits for your privacy and security. Each DNA kit includes a unique serial number that helps us identify your sample as yours, but is completely encrypted to ensure that only our database can identify your information.
I don’t want to know my risk for certain health topics. Do I need to view all DNA reports?
Although you have access to all of our reports (with new reports released weekly) you can choose which reports you wish to view and you aren’t obligated to view any you don’t wish to know about.
Will SelfDecode send my genetic information to other companies for research purposes?
No. We will never share your information with other companies or entities.
How do I know my information won’t be compromised by hackers?
We take extra security measures to make sure that this doesn’t happen. Even our own employees don’t have access to your personal unencrypted information unless it’s entirely necessary. We have a team of security and privacy experts who regularly check in on and update our security measures, and all sensitive information is encrypted and stored separately - it’s also encrypted when being transmitted in our own databases, to ensure that your personal data is never compromised.
