GenoSight — Personalised genetic-health reports

This Informed Consent explains what Genosight does, what data we process, what third parties receive, what benefits and risks are reasonably foreseeable, and what choices you have. If you do not agree, do not upload DNA data or enter health information into Genosight.

Genosight is an AI-assisted personal genetic and health-context analysis service. We analyze raw genotype files from supported third-party DNA services, combine the results with the personal profile you choose to provide, generate topical reports, and let you ask follow-up questions in chat.

You must be at least 18 years old to use Genosight. Do not upload DNA data for another person unless you have that person's explicit consent and legal authority to do so. If you believe a person under 18 has created an account or uploaded data to Genosight, contact contact@genosight.ai and we will promptly delete the account and associated data.

1. What Genosight is and is not

Genosight is an informational and educational service. It is not a clinical laboratory, a medical device, an in-vitro diagnostic medical device, software as a medical device, a diagnostic test, a healthcare provider, a genetic counseling service, or an emergency service.

Specifically, Genosight is not a medical device or in-vitro diagnostic medical device within the meaning of EU Regulation 2017/746 (IVDR), EU Regulation 2017/745 (MDR), the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002, the United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or the IMDRF Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) definition. The full intended-use disclosure lives in the Terms of Use § 3a.

Reports and chat responses are generated from consumer-grade raw DNA files, self-reported profile information, public scientific databases, internal curation, and AI synthesis. They may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. They are not a diagnosis and must not be used as the sole basis for medical decisions.

Do not start, stop, or change a medication, supplement, dose, treatment, screening plan, or reproductive decision based on Genosight alone. Discuss medically relevant findings with a qualified healthcare professional, pharmacist, clinical geneticist, or genetic counselor.

2. Data you provide

Account data: email address, authentication data, account preferences, consent records, and security metadata.
Raw DNA data: the raw genotype file you upload from supported services such as 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or MyHeritage.
Personal profile: information you choose to provide, such as age range, biological sex, ethnicity, life stage, diagnoses, symptoms, family history, medications, supplements, allergies, habits, and goals.
Generated data: parsed variants, derived findings, profile snapshots, topical reports, PDFs, chat messages, credit ledger entries, and support communications.

DNA and health information are special-category personal data under European data-protection law. By accepting this consent, you explicitly consent to Genosight processing your genetic data and health information to provide the service.

3. How the analysis works

You create an account and complete the consent flow.
You may complete onboarding questions about your personal profile. Most profile questions are optional unless the app needs an answer to interpret a specific result.
You upload a supported raw DNA file. Genosight stores it in private storage and parses it server-side.
Genosight compares your genotype data with curated sources and public scientific resources to produce structured findings.
When you request a report or findings chat, Genosight sends a limited structured context to an AI provider to write the narrative response.
Generated reports and chat history are saved to your account so you can review, export, and manage them.

4. AI processing

Genosight uses third-party AI services to generate report prose and findings-chat responses. We do not send your raw DNA file, legal name, email address, or exact date of birth to the AI model. The AI context may include structured genetic findings, rsIDs, genes, genotype tags, evidence levels, report summaries, age in years, biological sex, ethnicity, life stage, diagnoses, family history, symptoms, medications, supplements, allergies, goals, and habits.

AI responses can be plausible but incorrect. They can omit relevant limitations, misstate evidence strength, or fail to account for individual medical circumstances. Genosight uses prompts, curation, and product controls to reduce that risk, but cannot eliminate it.

5. What you may learn

Genosight may generate reports or chat responses about:

nutrition, fitness, sleep, skincare, traits, and personality;
foods and drinks, metabolic health, hormones, gut health, and inflammation;
mental wellbeing, cognition, heart health, detox and methylation, and aging.

Some categories may be emotionally sensitive. You may learn information suggesting an associated tendency, a family implication, or the absence of an expected finding. Genetic information cannot be unlearned.

6. Benefits

A clearer view of how your raw DNA data may relate to nutrition, sleep, and traits.
Easier navigation of complex genetic findings through topical reports and follow-up chat.
The ability to export or delete account data through account settings.

7. Key risks and limitations

Consumer DNA data may be wrong or incomplete. Raw files from consumer DNA services can contain false positives, false negatives, no-calls, strand issues, chip-coverage gaps, and provider differences.
Coverage is limited. A missing variant in your raw file, negative result, or absent finding does not mean you do not have a medically relevant variant or future health risk.
Evidence changes. Scientific interpretation of variants and traits can change over time.
Self-reported profile data may be incomplete. The service does not verify diagnoses, medication lists, family history, allergies, or symptoms against medical records.
Clinically significant findings require confirmation.Any serious health-related finding should be confirmed through an appropriate clinical test or clinician-led review before action is taken.
Family implications may exist. Your results can imply information about biological relatives.
Privacy risk cannot be reduced to zero. Genetic data is uniquely identifying and sensitive. Genosight uses technical and organizational safeguards, but no system can guarantee perfect security.

8. Medication and clinical context

Genosight is not a clinical pharmacogenomic test and does not provide medication-prescribing guidance. Never change medication or dosage based on Genosight reports or chat output. Discuss any medication-related question with a prescribing clinician or pharmacist.

9. Fertility-related findings

Fertility-related findings are educational genetic context only. They are not a clinical fertility evaluation, preconception screen, prenatal test, thrombophilia workup, or contraceptive-safety assessment. A negative or absent finding does not rule out anything, and any finding that may be clinically relevant should be reviewed by a healthcare provider, reproductive endocrinologist, or board-certified genetic counselor before any action is taken.

10. Privacy and sharing

Genosight does not sell your genetic data, personal profile, reports, or chat history. Genosight does not voluntarily share your genetic data with insurers, employers, data brokers, or law-enforcement databases, and does not voluntarily provide database access for forensic matching or law-enforcement searches.

We may use service providers for hosting, storage, authentication, AI processing, payments, email, security, and logging. Those providers receive only the data needed for their role and are subject to contractual restrictions. Our current named list is available on the Subprocessors page.

We may disclose information if required by valid legal process or applicable law. Where legally permitted, we will seek to narrow the request and notify you. We publish legal-demand statistics and our law-enforcement request posture on the Transparency Report.

11. Optional consents

Marketing, research participation, and AI-improvement participation are optional settings. You can turn those settings on or off in account settings without affecting your ability to use the core service. Optional research or AI-improvement use must not be treated as consent for insurance, employment, law-enforcement, or advertising resale use.

12. Withdrawing consent

You can withdraw consent at any time. Two paths are available, depending on whether you want to keep historical reports:

Stop new processing while keeping existing reports. Email contact@genosight.ai with the subject "Pause processing" and your account email. Genosight will pause new analysis-engine runs, new report generations, and new chat sessions for your account; existing reports remain accessible and your stored data remains in place under the same security controls. You can resume by emailing the same address. A self-service toggle in account settings is on the roadmap and will replace the email path once shipped; until then, email is the documented mechanism so the audit trail is clean.
Delete your account and data entirely. From account settings (Danger zone), request account deletion. This starts a 30-day grace period during which you can cancel deletion. After the grace period, Genosight deletes the account and associated user data through its deletion workflow, including stored genome files where technically available. This is the appropriate path if you want all of your data removed, not just future processing stopped.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal, and does not affect data retained under a separate legal basis (for example, accounting records retained under Norwegian Bokføringsloven §§ 13–13a).

Withdrawal does not undo processing already completed, payment and tax records we must keep, security logs retained for a limited period, or fully de-identified aggregate information that can no longer reasonably identify you.

13. Alternatives

You do not have to use Genosight. Alternatives include not reviewing raw DNA data, reviewing general educational materials, using the original DNA provider's reports, or seeking clinician-ordered genetic testing and genetic counseling.

14. Questions

Contact contact@genosight.ai with "Privacy request" in the subject line before consenting if you have questions about what the service does, how your data is used, or what your consent means.
