Your sample is used solely to provide the service and for quality control. It is normally destroyed between 60 and 120 days after your results are issued and, in any event, within six months, unless repeat testing, an unresolved issue or a legal obligation requires longer retention, and then only for as long as necessary.
We do not store it in a biobank, use it for research without specific consent, or ever use it for forensic or reproductive purposes or to identify individuals.
