HEALTH & GENETIC INFORMATION

  • Report generation

    Your health and genetic information are confidential and we make sure all information is stored in Biotracker. The key use of genetic information is to assess your genetic predisposition and report this to you (please note that your health history is not used in this report). Following your genetic counselling , we prepare an action plan to achieve your health goals - this report utilizes your health history and genetic information.

  • De-identification of data

    Before your blood/saliva/other sample enters our lab, we make sure it is assigned a unique ID and de-identified, so that your personal information is not accessible to all. Only authorised personnel from our team have access to this information. Throughout the processing, your sample is tracked by Biotracker.

  • Research use

    Considering the significance of genetic and health information in research, we use this information without any personal identification for further analysis, with customer’s consent. During sample collection, we send out a consent form to all customers.

Disclosure

We do not share any information with unaffiliated parties, except where required to provide you or your organization the ability to use the product as desired or where required to do so by law. If your sample has come to us from a channel partner or a healthcare provider, they may have access to your reports and other information. Proton Health will not be held responsible for any violation of privacy in such cases.

In the future, Proton Health may sell business units, product lines, or other assets. In such cases, customer information may be one of the transferred business assets. Also, if Proton Health or substantially all of its assets were to be sold, customer information would be one of the transferred assets. In all such cases, Proton Health may disclose the customer information prior to the transaction to a prospective purchaser and its representatives in connection with the purchaser's due diligence investigation.
