YOUR GENOME. YOUR DECISIONS.
DNAObs Privacy & Data Stewardship
DNAObs only interprets raw genome files you choose to share. We do not collect new samples, harvest behavioral data, or repurpose insights for advertising or resale.
Data lifecycle at a glance
- Upload: you provide the complete genome file through an encrypted channel.
- Analyze: pipelines run within your contracted environment—no secondary processing.
- Return: insights are delivered securely and the working dataset is vaulted or deleted per your instruction.
Governance commitments
- Explicit consent is required for every analysis, handoff, or report.
- Zero-retention defaults: if you do nothing, data expires and is erased on a short, auditable schedule.
- Independent ethics board and privacy counsel review our controls every quarter.
What we never do
- No wet-lab collection, no unsolicited uploads, and no scraping of third-party datasets.
- No sharing, licensing, or machine-learning training on your genome without a fresh, written agreement.
- No marketing emails or sponsorships based on your clinical or ancestry results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is my genome processed and stored?
You choose. DNAObs can operate inside your private cloud, a dedicated regional tenancy, or an on-prem cluster. Audit trails inherit the same residency as the primary dataset.
How long do you keep my data?
Only for the duration you approve. Default retention is 30 days, after which the genome and derived files are cryptographically destroyed unless you request secure archiving.
Do you ever hand data to third parties?
Never without explicit written consent. When you ask us to collaborate with clinicians or researchers, each transfer is logged, encrypted, and governed by the consent terms you set.
