Your Genome Is the Most Sensitive Data You Own. Here's How We Protect It.

Your genome is the only piece of personal data that is completely unique to you, permanent, and shared partially with your family members. A stolen password can be changed. A stolen genome cannot. That's why genomic data privacy requires a fundamentally different approach than standard data protection.

The industry's track record is poor

23andMe's 2023 data breach exposed the genetic information of nearly 7 million users. The company has also faced criticism for sharing genetic data with pharmaceutical companies. These incidents have rightfully made consumers cautious about who holds their most sensitive biological information.

Our approach

ReadyGenome was built with a simple principle: your data is yours. We use AES-256 encryption — the same standard used by banks and military applications. Your genomic file is encrypted at rest and in transit. We do not sell, share, license, or provide access to your data to any third party, ever. No pharma partnerships, no research agreements, no data monetization.

You control access

Only you can authorize access to your vault. If you want to share your genomic data with a physician, you initiate the sharing. We never provide access without your explicit, documented consent for each specific instance.
