Your Privacy, Our Priority
Your raw genetic file never leaves your device. You maintain complete control and maximum privacy protection.
Our Privacy Approach
100% Browser-Based Processing
Your raw DNA file is processed entirely in your browser. No uploads, no server storage of raw data.
Minimal Data Storage

How We Compare to Other DNA Report Services
Like SelfDecode, Xcode Life, and Promethease, we provide genetic analysis reports using existing DNA test data. But our privacy approach is fundamentally different.
| Feature | Brain Genome | SelfDecode | Xcode Life | Promethease |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| File Upload Required | No Upload | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Raw Data Storage | Never Stored | On their servers | On their servers | 45 days |
| Data Processing Location | Your Device | Their Servers | Their Servers | Their Servers |
| Variants Stored | Loading... | All variants(~600K+) | All variants(~600K+) | All variants(~600K+) |
| PII Automatically Removed | Manual | Manual | Manual | |
| Report Generation | On-Demand(Your device) | Server-Side | Server-Side | Server-Side |
| Pharmacogenomic Focus | Mental health + cardiovascular | General wellness | General health | General SNPs |
| Medication Research | CPIC, PharmGKB, FDA, DPWG (educational) | Limited PGx | Some PGx | General |
The Traditional Approach
Most genetic analysis services require you to upload your entire raw DNA file (600,000+ variants) to their servers for processing.
Privacy Risks:
- Complete genetic data exposed during upload
- Files stored on servers for 45-90+ days
- Potential data breach vulnerability
- Trust required in company practices
The Brain Genome Difference
We process and analyze your genetic data to provide educational insights. This is research-based information, not medical advice or clinical testing.
Privacy Advantages:
- Zero upload risk - processing in your browser
- Raw files never reach our servers
- Minimal data footprint (Loading...)
- Automatic PII removal and anonymization
Payment Processing
All payment information is processed by Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor.
- Credit card numbers never touch our servers
- CVV/security codes never stored
- Industry-leading fraud protection
Cloud Infrastructure
Your anonymized data is stored in secure cloud data centers located in the United States with enterprise-grade security.
- AES-256 encryption at rest
- TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit
- Application-level access controls and firewall isolation
Incomplete Sessions
If you begin the analysis process but do not complete report generation, no genetic data is retained.
- Data exists only in your browser session
- Discarded when you close browser
- No server-side storage of partial data
How We Protect Your Privacy
Browser Processing
Your raw DNA file is analyzed entirely in your browser using advanced JavaScript. No uploads, no server storage of raw data.
- Files stay on your device
- Works offline after initial load
- Memory cleared after processing
Automatic PII Removal
Real-time detection and removal of all personally identifiable information before any data leaves your device.
- Names, IDs automatically removed
