Your DNA is the most personal, sensitive piece of information that is uniquely yours. When you entrust it to a company, you should be certain they will use it responsibly. Xcode has always stood out as a sincere, honest service that prioritizes user privacy above all else. Privacy is an integral part of our DNA, and we continue to strive to provide a secure platform for you, the user. Our privacy policy remains clear-cut and concise, reminding you that at Xcode Life, your privacy comes first.
What Is DNA Data Privacy?
DNA data privacy involves protecting a person’s genetic information.
Storage and repurposing of a user’s DNA data must be done transparently.
Sharing DNA with third parties must require the user’s well-informed consent.
Federal laws, such as the Common Rule and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), aim to protect consumer privacy while encouraging scientific progress.
