Our data-protection commitment
Your personal and family health information is extremely sensitive. Relative Health Report is committed to protecting your privacy through stringent security measures, including encryption in transit and at rest and secure data storage. You control your data — deciding what to share, with whom, and when. The app adheres strictly to ethical standards, respects family confidentiality, and never shares your personal information without explicit consent.
What GINA does and doesn't cover
The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) protects against health-insurance and employment discrimination based on family medical history. It is the reason a positive family history of cancer cannot be used by a health insurer to raise your premium or deny coverage, and it is the reason employers (15+ employees) cannot use it in hiring or promotion decisions.
GINA does not extend to life insurance, long-term-care insurance, or disability insurance. It also does not apply to the military or to employers with fewer than 15 employees. Some U.S. states (notably Florida and California) extend additional protections, but coverage is patchy.
Practically: when you share family history with a clinician, that information may enter your medical record and could be discoverable in life, LTC, or disability insurance underwriting via routine medical-records requests. This is a consequence of where the data flows once it leaves the app — not of how we handle your data inside the app.
