Testing & genetics / SOURCE BRIEF
Before you share your genetic data.
What to know
Genetic information can reveal things about relatives as well as you. MedlinePlus recommends understanding testing limits and company policies before proceeding, including research use, data sharing and what happens if the business changes ownership.
Points to carry forward
- Check deletion, retention and sharing terms separately.
- Find out whether consent to research is optional and can be withdrawn.
Keep this in mind
Privacy policies and legal protections vary. pHTNESS is not currently collecting genetic samples or providing genetic testing.
A question to carry with you
Can you explain what happens to both your sample and your data after testing?
