Where else does my data go?

At Living DNA we don’t sell your data to any third parties. Our commitment is to store it, not abuse it. You can only opt in to research if you decide, and you can choose to opt out of this at any time. However, we use aggregated data to improve the quality of our systems.

Where else does my data go?

Information we collect

Living DNA collects only information that is vital in providing you the best service possible. To do this we gather your personal information such as your name, card details, email and user behaviour. Then after we’ve collected your swab sample, we extract genetic, phenotypic and ancestry information. Living DNA is GDPR compliant. We use cookies to understand how our site is being used, and to help us improve things. You can see our policy here.

Storing your information

Living DNA stores genetic information separately to any other personal information you tell us. In the process of engaging with Living DNA you are given a random barcode which is only identifiable within Living DNA and is used to help with any customer support queries. This is to ensure we keep you and your information confidential.

Our privacy statement

Using your data

To keep it simple we use your genetic data to give you your results. Which is very exciting!! If you have a live account with us then we will store your genetic data for you and it can be used to provide additional insights that you have consented to, or ancestry updates which we provide for free.

We also offer our DNA matching service, which allows you to see how much DNA you share with other people in our database. Read more on our matching privacy policy. Before you decide to take a DNA test, it’s important to consider what it is going to show you and what you are actually looking for.
