The purpose of this text is to explain the principles and practices of privacy and data management of Abomics and GeneAccount.
Abomics is a certified healthcare service provider, which also shows as strict privacy policies and practices. Data is collected, utilized, saved, and shared only to provide the healthcare services, and only by those employees who have authorization to handle the data, for example, our doctors. We always try to minimize the amount of information we need to provide the service, and actively delete the data we will not be needing anymore.
It is completely natural for us that the customer owns all the information we have about her, and that is why we strive to offer the customer the opportunity to exercise her rights to her own information as well as possible. Our online service offers the customer extensive opportunities to view and change their information. If desired, the customer can independently remove his/her data from the service.
Our lawful basis for data collection and utilization is the service agreement between us and the customer. The agreement is either between you and us, or between you and your healthcare provider whose subcontractor we are in certain cases. We handle your data with equal concern regardless of whom with you have the service agreement. The privacy of all of our customers is equally important to us.
We need data about you to serve you. The main functions in which your data is used are our pharmacogenomic interpretation, and communication between you and us. We also use the person’s background information such as age and gender for statistical purposes to find out, for example, increased risks in certain groups of people. All statistical information is completely anonymous.
You own all of your genetic data that we hold. Genetic information is stored only on secure servers and is handled only by our carefully selected professionals, for example, our doctors. Data is always transferred via secure connections, for example when the laboratory sends the results of your test to us for analysis. Your genetic information is never shared to third parties without your specific request.
We never possess any genetic data that could be used to identify a person. We and our partner laboratories only sequence the genes that are used only in pharmacogenetics. We want to offer our pharmacogenetic service as transparently as possible, which is why we never run any other tests even if requested. This is our most important promise to you.
You can see all personal information we have from your GeneAccount profile.
We have different information about you depending on your service provider. If we are a subcontractor, your service provider provides us the information we need. In this case we cannot affect the information we get. If you are a GeneAccount Service customer, you have the power to choose the information you want to share with us.
When we are a subcontractor, we may have your name, age, gender, phone number, and your birthday. It is also possible that we do not have any personal information about you. You can view and edit all your personal information in your GeneAccount profile.

In addition to providing the service, we make statistics from the anonymized data. Under no circumstances can it be determined from this information who the information has been collected from. The information is therefore irreversibly anonymized. Statistical information is used to develop the service. Statistical information is collected together with trusted third parties such as Google.
