How We Use Your Information

Please note that some uses of your information may be exempt under the UK Data Protection Order 2000 regarding the Processing of Sensitive Personal Data (section 33).

Genetrainer collects Personal Information from you for all purposes necessary to ensure the regular operation of your account and/or availability of our Services. These include, among other things, providing you with our Services; improving our Services and/or offering new products or services to you; informing you about events; inviting you to participate in specific research projects, contacting you to obtain testimonials or for other promotional purposes; performing quality control activities; conducting other R&D; and, upon your consent, conducting Genetrainer Research.

We use Registration Information to enable your purchase, inform you when your Genetic Information is available to you, provide you with customer service, manage our Services, and authenticate your website visits and usage.

We may disclose to third parties, and/or use in our Services, "Aggregated Genetic and Self-Reported Information", which is Genetic and Self-Reported Information that has been stripped of Registration Information and combined with data from a number of other users sufficient to minimize the possibility of exposing individual-level information while still providing scientific evidence. If you have given consent for your Genetic and Self-Reported Information to be used in Genetrainer Research as described in the applicable Consent Document, we may include such information in Aggregated Genetic and Self-Reported Information intended to be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. If you have given consent to participate in Genetrainer Research, we may also allow research contractors to access your individual-level Genetic and/or Self-Reported Information onsite at Genetrainer’s offices for the purpose of conducting scientific research, provided that all such research contractors will be supervised by Genetrainer and subject to Genetrainer’s access rules and guidelines. Similarly, if you have consented to use of your individual-level data in the Research Portal feature, qualified researchers (who must comply with certain requirements) may access your individual-level Genetic and/or Self-Reported Information for the purpose of scientific research, which could lead to commercial use. If you do not give consent for your Genetic and Self-Reported Information to be used in Genetrainer Research or your individual-level Genetic and Self-Reported Information to be used in the Research Portal, we may still use your Genetic and/or Self-Reported Information for R&D purposes as described above, which may include disclosure of Aggregated Genetic and Self-Reported Information to third-party non-profit and/or commercial research partners who will not publish that information in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, we will never release your individual-level Genetic and/or Self-Reported Information to a third party without asking for and receiving your explicit consent to do so, unless required by law.

We use Web Behaviour Information to track and monitor aggregate usage of our website, for R&D, for quality control, to improve our Services, and/or to target advertising for our products and services, and if you have given consent to participate in Genetrainer Research as described in the applicable Consent Document, your Web Behaviour Information may be used and disclosed to third parties in aggregate form for Genetrainer Research intended to be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. If you do not give consent to participate in Genetrainer Research, we may still use your Web Behaviour Information for R&D purposes as described above, which may include disclosure of aggregated Web Behaviour Information to third-party non-profit and/or commercial research partners who will not publish that information in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

We give you the ability to share your Genetic Information with other Genetrainer customers through sharing features.

  • Partners or service providers (e.g. our contracted genotyping laboratory or credit card processors) use and/or store the information in order to provide you with Genetrainer's Services.
  • If you have consented for research, research contractors may access your individual-level Genetic and Self-Reported Information onsite at Genetrainer's offices for the purpose of scientific research, provided that all such research contractors will be supervised by Genetrainer and subject to Genetrainer's access rules and guidelines.
  • We are required to do so by law or we do so in coordination with regulatory authorities (see the section below titled "Information Disclosure Required By Law").
  • You have provided explicit consent for us to do so.
