Privacy is not an add-on.
It is the product.
Your genetic data is uniquely personal. Genewise is designed to minimize storage, limit data use, and return ownership to the customer.
Core principles
We do not sell genetic data
Your genetic information is not sold to advertisers, data brokers, research buyers, pharmaceutical companies, insurers, or employers.
We do not build a genomic database
Genewise is not built around long-term storage or research monetization. Our workflow is designed to deliver your file and then remove it from active systems after the delivery period.
You receive your data directly
Your FASTQ file is delivered through a secure digital transfer link. You own and control the file after download.
Biological samples are destroyed
After sequencing and delivery, physical and biological samples are destroyed according to the applicable lab workflow and our Terms of Service.
Limited retention
Data is retained only as needed to process the order, deliver the file, support account and order records, meet legal obligations, and provide the short retrieval period described in the Terms.
Security practices
Genewise uses administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect customer information.
Laboratory partners
Processed by accredited partner laboratories
Genewise works with laboratory and infrastructure partners that hold industry-recognized accreditations. Privacy and security controls are built into every step of the sequencing workflow.
