Who owns my DNA data or health information?

You own your personal data. Genofit acts as a service provider to process your sample and deliver your results to you.

Will Genofit share my data with third parties (e.g., insurance companies, employers)?

No. Genofit will not share your identifiable personal information or test results with insurance companies, employers, or other unauthorized third parties without your explicit consent, unless compelled by law (e.g., through a valid court order or subpoena).

How is privacy handled for sensitive tests like Paternity or STI testing?

We take extra precautions for sensitive tests. All kits are shipped in discreet packaging. Results are delivered exclusively through your secure online portal. For relationship tests, informed consent from all adult parties being tested (or from legal guardians for minors) is required.

Are Genofit's DNA tests for health and disease diagnostic?

No. Our DNA tests for health conditions (e.g., DNA Alzheimer's APOE Test, DNA Diabetes Risk Test, DNA Celiac Disease Test) and wellness traits indicate genetic predispositions or sensitivities. They are not diagnostic and do not confirm the presence or absence of a disease. They are designed to provide information that you can discuss with your healthcare provider for further evaluation, diagnosis, or management.

Who can I contact if I have more questions about Genofit or my tests?

Our customer support team is available to help answer your questions. You can reach us via email at support@genofit.com. For complex questions regarding the interpretation of genetic results in the context of your health, we may recommend that you consult with a genetic counselor or an appropriate healthcare professional.

Can I share my results with others, like my doctor or family?

Yes, you are in control of your results. You can choose to share your report with your healthcare providers, family members, nutritionists, personal trainers, or anyone else you wish. All reports can be downloaded as a PDF document from your secure account, making them easy to print or share electronically.
