Your body. Your data. Your right to control it.

DNA testing can feel personal—and it should. You’re not just sharing numbers; you’re sharing a blueprint of your biology. That’s why data protection isn’t optional—it’s essential. Here’s exactly how pro.Genome keeps your genetic information secure and in your hands.

1. Your Sample Is Anonymized

When your cheek swab is submitted, it’s assigned a

random ID code —not your name or IC number. This ID is used throughout the lab process to separate your identity from your genetic data.

  • No name printed on lab report

  • No personal data stored on test devices

  • Only authorized staff can match ID to user

2. Your Report Is Private by Default

Once ready, your results are sent via a secure digital link only accessible by you.

  • No one sees your report unless

    you choose to share it

  • You’re the only one who can forward, print, or show the results

  • Consultations are conducted in private, with full consent

3. We Follow Malaysian Data Protection Law (PDPA)

We comply with the

Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA)

, which governs how your information can be collected, stored, and shared in Malaysia.

  • No third-party sale or use

  • No insurance or employer access

  • Full audit trail of who accesses your data

4. You’re in Control of What You Do Next

Want to share your report with your doctor? Your nutritionist? Or just keep it to yourself? You decide.

Your data is never used for:

  • Medical diagnosis or prediction

  • Research without permission

  • Marketing without opt-in

5. Built by People Who Understand Trust

pro.Genome is delivered by Alpro Pharmacy—a name trusted by thousands of Malaysian families. Our pharmacists, advisors, and lab partners are all licensed and trained to handle your data responsibly.

Your DNA Belongs to You—Always.

We don’t just test responsibly—we

protect respectfully
