Notice of Privacy Practices
DNA Ancestry
Effective 2007
Please read the notice carefully.
DNA Ancestry will abide by
the terms presented within this Notice. For
any uses or disclosures that are not listed
below, DNA Ancestry will
obtain a written authorization from you for
that use or disclosure, which you will have
the right to revoke at any time, as explained
in more detail below.
DNA Ancestry follows stringent
policies for protecting your privacy. We have
the authority to control the Surname Database
Library and genetic testing scores. Only limited
information is shared with the testing facility.
DNA Ancestry accepts the
responsibility to keep your specific data
private, at the same time, making enough general
information for public to allow us to build
a Surname Database library to be used for
genealogical purposes.
Privacy and Confidentiality Statement
Your unique test kit number will accompany
your collection tube to the testing lab. The
computer-generated number and your surname
is the only information about you that the
testing facility will see. Once your test
has been completed the results of the Y-DNA
or mtDNA test will be entered in a secure
database. A comparison between your specific
genetic results and those of others in the
database will then be performed.
If a genetic match is found between you and
another person in the database and you have
each signed the release form you will be informed
via email.
If a genetic match is found between you and
another individual who enters the library
at some time in the future, both will be given
the information that a potential match is
in the database provided that BOTH of you
have signed the release form. Only if both
parties agree will contact information concerning
the separate parties be made available to
the other party. In this way, all persons
in the database will have the right to decide
if they want to contact their genetic match
(es).
Privacy and confidentiality will be strictly
maintained.
Revisions to the Notice of Privacy
Practices
DNA Ancestry reserves the right to change

health information received prior to its effective

Notice in the website.
