Genetic privacy rights

Genetic privacy rights refer to your control over your personal genetic information—details about your DNA that reveal things about your health, traits, and ancestry. These rights protect you from unauthorized access, sharing, or use of your genetic data by others, including companies and government agencies. They ensure you can decide who sees your genetic information and how it is used, helping prevent discrimination and maintaining your personal privacy. In essence, genetic privacy rights give you authority over your genetic data, similar to other personal information, safeguarding your individuality and rights.
