Only if you give your consent, which is optional and does not affect your service, reports or the support you receive. If you consent, the minimum necessary data may be used, normally in pseudonymised or anonymised form, for:
• Internal research and improvement, including the development and training of our own artificial intelligence models.
• External scientific research, with universities, healthcare centres and non-profit organisations.
• Research and development with companies.
Publications will never identify you, and findings may lead to new products, patents or revenue. Your physical sample is not transferred. You can withdraw consent at any time: we will stop including your data in new projects and in future processing that relies on that consent. Withdrawal does not affect previous uses, publications or data that has already been irreversibly anonymised. For artificial intelligence models already trained, we will assess removing your data or applying technical measures, although in some cases the model may continue to be used. Combining your Vivabioma and tellmeGen data requires separate consent. For full details, see our informed consent document.
