Genetic & DNA Testing Service Privacy Checklist

Vet a DNA testing service before you spit in the tube

Your DNA is the one piece of personal data you can never rotate or reset. This checklist walks you through the seven questions that matter most before signing up for a genetic testing service — or reviewing one you already use — covering data deletion, physical sample destruction, opt-in research and law-enforcement sharing, encryption, raw data export, and retention policy, with a weighted privacy score.

• →Checks whether third-party research and law-enforcement sharing require explicit opt-in consent
• →Flags encryption and data-retention policy transparency
