The purpose of this policy is to explain how DesigNA™ will use and process your personal data. By registering to use our services and by using our website generally you agree to this use.

What information do we collect?
Every time you complete a registration or 'contact us' form you will be asked to provide certain information. We gather this information to allow us to process your registration, process any orders you make and to contact you. In addition we may ask you to provide information at other times, for example, when you email us your details or report a problem with one of our sites or services.

We will not collect sensitive information about you (for example relating to racial origin or political beliefs) without your express consent. We may supplement the information, which you provide to us, with information we receive from third parties.

Broadly speaking, genetic information derived from your DNA falls into two categories. It can be analysed at the large scale and small scale levels. Analysis of large sections of your genetic material provides the information to identify you as an individual, but does NOT provide us with information relating to the likelihood of risk of disease, illness or other condition. These large regions do not, in general, contain genes, the portions of your genetic code which help to determine your characteristics. Under the DesigNA™ service we do NOT process your sample for such purposes and can not obtain such information from a DNA profile.
