Ephemeral by design
Genetic information is deeply personal. GeneTranslate is built so there is nothing for us to leak, sell, or hand over — we don’t keep your data. Here’s exactly what happens when you use the product.
PDFs are in-memory only
Uploaded PDFs are read into memory by the API route, parsed once, and discarded when the request returns. They are never written to disk and never persisted in any database.
Results live only in your browser
Analysis results are written to your browser's sessionStorage. They are gone when you close the tab. There is no server-side copy.
The LLM runs on your machine
GeneTranslate uses Ollama to run the language model locally. Prompts, your patient context, and the model's output never leave the host. There is no cloud LLM call.
Email addresses are not retained
If you choose to email yourself a copy of your results, the address is passed through to Resend for delivery and is not retained by GeneTranslate, server-side or client-side, after the send completes.
No accounts, no cookies, no analytics
We don't ask you to register. We don't set cookies. We don't run analytics, tracking pixels, or session replay. There is nothing to opt out of because there is nothing collected.
The one outbound network call
When the analyzer enriches your report, it queries the public NCBI ClinVar archive over HTTPS using gene names and variant identifiers (for example, BRCA1 c.5266dupC). Patient names, addresses, dates of birth, your uploaded PDF text, and your patient context are never included. ClinVar is the same public database your lab and counselor consult.
In short
If you close this tab, your data is gone. If our servers vanish tomorrow, no copy of your report exists anywhere we control. That is the design.
