Informed Consent for Genetic Testing and Reporting

Consent to Collect, Store, and Use Genetic Data (Limited Purposes)

Intrinsic Genomics  ·  Version 2.2  ·  Effective October 4, 2026

1. Voluntary Consent

You are choosing whether to allow Intrinsic Genomics to collect, analyze, store, and use your genetic data (DNA / genotype or sequence data) to create the guides/reports and services you request.

• Participation is voluntary.
• You may decline or withdraw your consent at any time.
• If you decline or withdraw, we may not be able to create, deliver, or update your guides/reports.

2. What Data We Collect

We may collect and store:

• Genetic results from our third-party sample collection / lab partner (currently Labcorp).
• Derived data created from your results (for example: variant annotations, interpretation notes, or risk/score calculations).
• Information you provide (optional), such as health history, symptoms, or family history.

If you provide your own DNA data file (instead of, or in addition to, a Labcorp draw), you confirm that the file you upload is your own, or that you are the parent or legal guardian of the person it belongs to, or that you are otherwise legally authorized to submit it.

3. Why We Use Your Data

Your genetic data will be used only for the purposes you agree to. At checkout you confirm each item you consent to:

Required for service

• A. Create the guides/reports you ordered (for example: nutrition, fitness, sleep, hormones, gastro, dietary management programs).
• B. Interpret your results using reference population data and published research.

Optional service features

• C. Store your data so you can access your results later and re-generate guides/reports.
• D. Improve or update your guides/reports over time as science and our reporting improves (for your personal use).

4. Who Can Access Your Data / Sharing Rules

Your data may be accessed by:

• Authorized Intrinsic Genomics staff who need it to run the service and are bound by confidentiality.
• Service providers / lab partners who help process data and are contractually limited to the permitted uses.

We do not sell your genetic data. We do not share your genetic data with third parties unless you explicitly consent, or we are legally required to do so (rare).

5. Storage, Retention, and Deletion

• We will keep your genetic data until you ask us to delete it or you withdraw consent.

Account association. Your genetic data is linked to your customer account (not to a single order), remains accessible to you while you are logged in, and may be used to fulfil the current and future analyses you request under this account.

If you withdraw consent for storage

• We will stop using your data for new analysis.
• We will delete your stored data within 30 days, unless we must retain limited records for legal, security, or audit purposes (for example, integrity logs).

6. Downloaded Copies and Responsibility

Once guides/reports, genetic results, or related files are downloaded, printed, forwarded, exported, or saved outside Intrinsic Genomics systems, they are outside our control. Intrinsic Genomics cannot recall, delete, update, correct, or secure externally stored copies.

To the extent permitted by law, Intrinsic Genomics is not responsible for any privacy, security, disclosure, loss, theft, unauthorized access, or misuse involving copies stored or shared outside Intrinsic Genomics systems (including your devices, email, cloud storage, third-party apps, storage drives, or people you choose to share with). Nothing in this section limits rights or obligations that cannot legally be limited.

7. Risks, Benefits, and Limits

Risks

• Privacy risk: There is a small chance that someone with enough other information could work out whose DNA data it is, even with our security measures.
• Emotional impact: Learning about genetic risk can be stressful or upsetting.
• Discrimination risk: Laws like GINA may protect against some types of discrimination, but protections are not complete in every situation.
• Data breach risk: No system is perfect. We use encryption and security controls, but breaches can happen.

Sensitivity. Genetic data is sensitive personal information and, in some jurisdictions, a special category of data. You are providing it knowingly and voluntarily.

Benefits

• You receive a personalized genetic guide/report that may help you make better wellness decisions.

Limits

• Results show risk or tendency, not certainty.
• A “higher risk” result does not mean you will develop a condition.
• A “lower risk” result does not guarantee protection.
• Recommendations may change as research evolves.

8. Not Medical Care / Not Medical Advice

Intrinsic Genomics is not a medical provider and does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment. If you have symptoms, concerns, or major health decisions to make, you should consult a licensed clinician.

9. Your Rights; Withdraw / Revoke Consent

You may, at any time: access the genetic data held in your account; ask us to correct it; withdraw any consent above; and request that we delete your genetic data and destroy any associated file. To exercise these rights, or to withdraw consent, contact [email protected]. If you withdraw:

• We will stop using your data for new analysis.
• We will delete stored genetic data within 30 days (as described above).
• Guides/reports you already downloaded may remain in your possession, but no further new analysis will be performed using your stored data.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already carried out, and some records may be retained where the law requires.

10. Authorization

By selecting “I consent” electronically (or signing an in-office copy), you confirm that:

• You read and understood this consent form.
• You had the chance to ask questions.
• You freely choose to consent to the items selected in Section 3.
• You understand you can download or print a copy for your records.
• If the person being tested is under 18, you are that person’s parent or legal guardian (and are over 18 years old), you are authorized to provide this consent on their behalf, and you accept responsibility for decisions made for the minor under this consent.

Research Consent Addendum (Optional)

This addendum is optional. You can still receive your Intrinsic Genomics guides/reports if you do not consent to research.

R1. What “research use” means

If you agree, Intrinsic Genomics may use your genetic data and related derived data (like annotations or scores) to improve understanding of wellness topics and improve future reporting. Identifiable information, such as name and contact information, is removed. Even so, there is a small risk that someone with enough other information could work out whose data it is.

R2. What may be shared

• Used internally for research and quality improvement, and/or
• Shared with research partners under contracts that limit use and require security protections.

R3. What we will not do

• We will not sell your identified genetic data.
• We will not share your identity with research partners through this addendum.

R4. Your choice

• YES, I consent to research use of my data as described above.
• NO, I do not consent to research use of my data.

R5. Withdrawing research consent

You may withdraw research consent at any time by contacting [email protected]. After withdrawal, we will stop using your data for new research going forward. Research already completed (or already in progress) may not be able to be fully removed.

Intrinsic Genomics is a wellness service and is not a medical provider; this form is not legal advice. Genetic-data handling is regulated by GDPR and by a growing number of US state genetic-privacy laws. Version 2.2 · Effective October 4, 2026 · Contact: [email protected]
