What you upload
You upload a raw genetic data file you downloaded from a consumer testing service such as 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or MyHeritage. This file typically lists single-nucleotide variants (SNPs) and your genotype at each one.
What we parse
Variant Pilot reads the SNPs in your file and matches them against an internal catalog of variants that have published research associations with wellness traits.
Raw file deletion by default
After successful processing, your raw DNA file is deleted from our storage by default. Only the parsed variant data needed to power your insights is retained.
Optional raw file retention
You can opt-in from Settings to keep your raw file stored so you can reprocess it later if our catalog grows. You can disable this at any time and delete the raw file with one click.
Parsed variant storage
Parsed variants are stored against your account and used to generate your insights, power the assistant, and surface new findings as our catalog evolves.
Use for insights
Your variants and the educational summaries derived from them are visible only to you and to systems acting on your behalf to render the app.
Research matching
When you opt-in to research alerts, we match your variants against newly published studies and notify you. We do not share your variants with research partners.
AI disclosure
Variant Pilot uses large language models to summarize variant research and respond in the assistant. AI-generated text is clearly labeled, is educational only, and may be incomplete or wrong. Treat it like a starting point, not medical guidance.
No sale of genetic data
We do not sell your genetic data, ever. We do not share it with insurers, employers, advertisers, or research partners without your individual, opt-in consent.
Deletion controls
From the Privacy page you can: delete your raw DNA file only, or delete your entire account including raw file, parsed variants, insights, chats, watchlist, alerts, preferences, consent records, and login.
Educational-only limitation
Variant Pilot is not a clinical test and is not validated for clinical decisions. Speak with a qualified healthcare professional for medical questions.
