The Confidentiality and Security of Your DNA Data

Confidentiality and Security - Key Principles

  • Customer rights are protected in accordance with European legislation; the security of genetic information is tellmeGen's utmost priority.
  • You are the sole owner of your information: The company operates in compliance with European legislation, which means your genetic information is exclusively your private and confidential property.
  • No sharing: tellmeGen will never share your data with third parties without your explicit written consent.
  • Anonymity: Your information is stored anonymously (with encrypted coding). Even in the event of a data breach, it is impossible to link the stolen information back to your identity.

Technical Security and Google Cloud

  • tellmeGen collaborates with Google Cloud to ensure technical security.
  • Encryption (AES-256): Your data is protected by the highest standard AES-256 encryption both during storage (Google Cloud SQL) and sharing.
  • AES-256 uses a 256-bit key and is currently impossible to breach.
  • Secure Connections: Data transfers from our application to the cloud are secured via SSL/TLS connections.
  • Hashing Technique: Anonymous user codes are created using a cryptographic hashing method.
  • This means that the stored anonymous data is unknown even to the company itself, ensuring the complete integrity of the data.
