- Personal Identification Information
This includes your full name, date of birth, address, phone number, and email address. We use this information to confirm your identity and maintain proper chain-of-custody documentation. - Sample Collection Data

As part of our intake process, we collect information related to your consent for testing, any relevant medical history you choose to provide, and the purpose of testing (e.g., paternity, ancestry, legal, or wellness testing). - Test-Specific Metadata
This may include the date and time of sample collection, location of service (home, mobile clinic, or employer site), and collector ID. These details ensure compliance with laboratory processing standards and help validate results. - Analytical and Genetic Data
After laboratory analysis, we generate a DNA profile based on your genetic markers. This data is used strictly for the purpose authorized in your signed consent form. It is never shared, sold, or reused beyond the agreed scope. - Optional Information (If Applicable)
