Data Redistribution & Export Policy
What you can do with GeneticCoding content you obtain — and what you cannot.
1. Levels of access, levels of rights
Rights differ depending on the kind of access involved:
- Viewing information on the site — permitted for ordinary use.
- Downloading a customer's own report — permitted; it's your report.
- Using individual factual information — subject to the fact's own legal status and our attribution practices.
- Accessing proprietary GeneticCoding annotations — licensed for personal use only, per our Terms.
- API access — only under a separate written license.
- Bulk database access — only under a separate written license.
- Redistribution or sublicensing — only under a separate written license.
2. Your own report
A customer may generally retain and share their own personal report, subject to our Terms of Use. Sharing a report with family, a provider, or a genetic counselor is the intended use of the personal-use license that comes with a purchased report.
Report access must not be used as a mechanism to reconstruct or harvest the underlying GeneticCoding database. Generating or collecting reports at scale, or extracting annotations across reports, is prohibited.
3. Prohibited redistribution
Unless expressly authorized under a written license, the following are prohibited:
- Bulk redistribution of GeneticCoding content or data.
- Republication of substantial portions of the database.
- Sublicensing.
- Mirroring.
- Resale.
- Database extraction.
- Creating competing data products from GeneticCoding content.
