Data Security and Privacy in Genetic Testing
Ensuring Patient Privacy and Genetic Security
Now more than ever before, patient privacy is paramount in healthcare. This is especially true regarding genetic/DNA testing. Potentially sensitive genetic information must be protected at all costs. Patients rightfully ask themselves, “Is it safe to do a DNA test?,” and complete corporate compliance is necessary to earn their trust.
With over 15 years of genetic testing experience, the chief concern of InformedDNA is the protection of patient privacy and data security. We never have and never will sell patient data.
