Privacy Concerns?


"We do not create accounts. We do not sell your data."


Data for Cash

You are wary of the unknown.  We all are.   You are particularly and rightfully cautious regarding your DNA "fingerprint", especially if you've seen the movie GATTACA. 

AJ Consulting Company is dedicated to elevating your life but also to protecting your privacy.  We do not create accounts.  We do not sell your data.  We do not use your DNA information for anything beyond your Personalized DNA Profile, which we delete within 90-days after sending to you.  We also delete your raw DNA code data within that same 90-day timeline.  Your DNA information is yours.  We aim to keep it that way. 
Picture
Google commonly makes over $10 billion per quarter through parceling out user information helping advertisers target users. Some people are ok with that.  Some people are not.  Either way, we make $0 parceling out your information.

Many people, rightly, raise red flags when companies like 23andMe save your data "indefinitely" by default and explicitly state, in their "Research Consent Document"
"Your genetic data, survey responses, and/or personally identifying information may be stolen in the event of a security breach. In the event of such a breach, if your data are associated with your identity, they may be made public or released to insurance companies, which could have a negative effect on your ability to obtain insurance coverage. In addition, if you or a family member has genetic data linked to your name or your family member's name in a public database, someone who has access to your 23andMe genetic data might be able to link that data to your name or your family member's name through the publicly available genetic data. Although 23andMe cannot provide a 100% guarantee that your data will be safe, 23andMe has strong policies and procedures in place to minimize the possibility of a breach." 08/01/2015

Alias Creation Recommendation

We recommend creating an alias when purchasing DNA sequencing services and being cautious about checking boxes that release any of your information. Finally, you have the option of sequencing your DNA in groups with your friends (creating numerous aliases) so a single credit card cannot definitively be connected to any single DNA sequence.  Of course, always use aliases when emailing AJ Consulting Company if you prefer, too.  

Additional Encryption Services

​If you are still concerned about privacy and data stealing, you have an additional option.  For a fee, consider using the encrypted email server based in Switzerland called ProtonMail to send us your data.  We have accounts with ProtonMail and we will use a ProtonMail account to receive your DNA data (only by special request).  You will need to set up your own ProtonMail account, if you don't already have one, in order for this transaction/transfer to fully encrypted.  

Simply email secure@ajconsultingcompany.com to request this option before sending us any DNA data.
