Data Protection: We take the security and confidentiality of your data seriously. We employ technical, administrative, and physical measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Your data is stored on secure servers and is only accessible to authorized personnel.

Information Use: We use your personal data to facilitate genetic testing and provide you with relevant information and resources. However, please be aware that our team, while experienced in genetics, is not comprised of primary care practitioners. While we will guide you through your genetic testing journey, we strongly recommend that you share your test results with a trained medical professional. Self-diagnosis can be inaccurate and potentially harmful.

Results Confidentiality: For your safety and the accuracy of interpretation, we prefer to release genetic test results directly to licensed medical practitioners. This ensures that any interpretations are carried out by professionals who understand the nuances of genetic data. It is essential to avoid self-diagnoses based on genetic information alone.

Translation Considerations:We respect the diversity of cultures and languages among our users. When results need to be communicated in a language other than the one in which the test was conducted, we recommend using a trained translator. Dialect variations, even within the same language, can affect the accuracy of medical interpretation. We are happy to provide assistance in locating appropriate translation services.

Medical Professional Guidance:

‍Genomic Genetics consists of a team with extensive expertise in genetics. While we are well-equipped to guide you through the genetic testing process, it is essential to note that our team does not include primary care practitioners. We strongly recommend that you consult with a trained medical professional to interpret your genetic test results. Self-diagnosing medical conditions without professional guidance can lead to inaccuracies and potential health risks.

Translation Considerations:

‍We respect the linguistic diversity of our user base, recognizing that language can vary significantly even among speakers of the same language. If you require your genetic test results in a language other than the one in which the test was conducted, we encourage you to work with a qualified translator. Dialect variations can influence the accuracy of medical interpretation, so it is crucial to engage a professional translator to ensure precision.

Patient Self-Diagnosis:

To maintain the accuracy and reliability of medical interpretations, we prefer to release genetic test results solely to licensed medical practitioners. This approach helps to prevent patients from self-diagnosing conditions inaccurately. Self-diagnosis based solely on genetic information may lead to misunderstandings and potentially harmful conclusions. Your health and well-being are of utmost importance to us.
