Terms of Service

IMPORTANT: THIS SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE

SoDNAscan provides wellness and informational content only. The Service does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Do not use SoDNAscan results to make medical decisions. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before acting on any health information.

1. Agreement to Terms

By creating an account or using the SoDNAscan website and application at sodnascan.com (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These Terms should be read together with our:

In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy regarding data handling, the Privacy Policy prevails.

2. Service Description

SoDNAscan is a wellness platform that uses artificial intelligence to generate personalized Health Books based on your uploaded data. The Service:

Accepts raw genetic files from consumer testing providers (23andMe, AncestryDNA)
Accepts blood work lab results (PDF or text)
Accepts wearable device health exports (Apple Health, Oura, Fitbit, Whoop)
Accepts self-reported health information (demographics, health history, family history, goals)
Uses AI (Anthropic's Claude) to analyze your data and generate a personalized Health Book
Delivers your Health Book as a downloadable PDF

The Service is designed for general wellness purposes only. It is intended to promote or maintain general health and well-being through lifestyle and wellness insights. It does not claim to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent any disease or condition.

3. Wellness Classification

SoDNAscan is a general wellness product. In accordance with applicable regulatory guidance:

The Service is intended exclusively for general wellness use
The Service presents low risk to user safety when used as intended
Health insights provided are educational and informational
No output should be interpreted as a clinical finding, diagnosis, or treatment recommendation
The Service does not reference specific diagnostic thresholds or clinical standards
The Service does not make claims about specific diseases or conditions

If the insights provided prompt concerns about your health, consult a qualified healthcare provider. SoDNAscan is not a substitute for professional medical judgment.

4. AI Transparency

SoDNAscan uses Anthropic's Claude AI to process your data and generate your Health Book. You should understand that:

AI generates your Health Book. Your genetic variants, blood biomarkers, wearable metrics, and self-reported health information are sent to Anthropic's Claude API for analysis. The AI generates analytical reports that are compiled into your Health Book.
AI outputs are informational, not diagnostic. The AI provides wellness insights and educational content. It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or provide clinical recommendations.
AI has limitations. AI systems may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information. Genetic science is evolving, and current understanding of gene-health associations is incomplete.
No human review of individual outputs. AI-generated content is not reviewed by a physician or genetic counselor before delivery. You are responsible for evaluating the information and consulting healthcare professionals as appropriate.
Your data is not used to train AI models. Anthropic's commercial API terms prohibit using API data for model training.

Full details about AI processing are in our Data Use Policy. Acceptance of the Data Use Policy is required before using AI-powered features.

EU AI Act Compliance: In accordance with EU AI Act Article 13 transparency obligations, we disclose that: (a) you are interacting with an AI-powered system, (b) the system generates wellness information based on pattern analysis of health data, (c) the system has inherent limitations in accuracy and completeness, and (d) the system operates without real-time human oversight of individual outputs.

5. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent that you are 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect or process data from individuals under 18.

6. Account Responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
You are responsible for all activity under your account
You must provide accurate information when creating your profile
You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized access to your account
One account per person; accounts are not transferable

7. Data Ownership and License

7.1 Your Data

You retain full ownership of all data you upload to or enter into SoDNAscan, including your genetic files, blood work results, wearable exports, and self-reported health information.

7.2 License to SoDNAscan

By uploading data, you grant SoDNAscan a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, process, store, and transmit your data solely for the purpose of:

Providing the Service to you (parsing, analyzing, and generating your Health Book)
Operating and maintaining the Service infrastructure
Complying with legal obligations

This license terminates when you delete your account, except as required for legal retention obligations (see our Privacy Policy, Section 8).

7.3 Generated Content

Your Health Book and the analytical reports within it are generated by AI using your data. You may use, download, print, and share your Health Book for personal purposes. SoDNAscan retains no rights to your individual Health Book content after you download it.

8. Data Accuracy and Limitations

Your responsibility: You are responsible for the accuracy of the data you upload and enter. Inaccurate input data will produce inaccurate Health Book results.
Genetic file quality: SoDNAscan matches your uploaded genotypes against a curated panel of health-relevant variants. The number of matched variants depends on your testing provider and file format. Not all genetic variants relevant to health have been studied, and those that have been studied are not comprehensively covered by any consumer test.
Blood work interpretation: Blood biomarker analysis is informational. Reference ranges vary between labs, and individual context matters. Do not adjust medications or treatments based on SoDNAscan's blood work analysis.
Wearable data limitations: Wearable device measurements have inherent accuracy limitations that vary by device, sensor, and wearing conditions. SoDNAscan's analysis reflects these measurements as provided.

9. Family Data Implications

Genetic data inherently reveals information about your biological relatives, including parents, siblings, children, and extended family members, who have not consented to testing or analysis.

By using the Service, you acknowledge that:

Your genetic data may reveal information about family members' health predispositions
Sharing your Health Book results may disclose information about relatives without their knowledge or consent
You have considered these implications before uploading your genetic data
You will exercise appropriate discretion when sharing genetic insights derived from the Service

10. Trust Commitments

We commit to the following, regardless of business circumstances:

No sale to insurers or employers. We will never sell, rent, or provide your genetic data to insurance companies or employers.
No voluntary law enforcement sharing. We will not voluntarily share your genetic data with law enforcement agencies. We will only disclose data in response to a legally valid court order, and we will notify you when legally permitted to do so.
No AI model training. Your data will not be used to train AI models without your separate, explicit consent (which we do not currently request).
Deletion is real. When you delete your account, we cascade deletion across all data types and propagate deletion requests to our processors.

11. Purchases and Payments

11.1 Health Book Purchase

SoDNAscan Health Books are available as a one-time purchase. Pricing is displayed at checkout in EUR (or other applicable currency).

11.2 Payment Processing

Payments are processed by Stripe. You will be redirected to a Stripe-hosted checkout page. SoDNAscan never receives or stores your payment card details.

11.3 Refund Policy

If your Health Book generation fails due to a technical error on our side and cannot be resolved through retry, you may request a refund by contacting info@sodnascan.com. Refunds are not available for completed Health Books or for dissatisfaction with AI-generated content, as outputs depend on your unique data and are generated on a per-user basis.

13. Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time through the Service. Account deletion:

Permanently removes all your data from active systems (genetic files, blood work, wearable data, health information, Health Books, and your user record)
Triggers deletion propagation to our processors
Is irreversible — deleted data cannot be recovered
May take up to 30 days to fully propagate through backup systems

See our Privacy Policy, Section 8, for detailed retention periods.

14. Intellectual Property

The SoDNAscan name, logo, website design, and application code are the intellectual property of Samuel Virag. Nothing in these Terms grants you rights to our trademarks, logos, or other proprietary assets.

The curated panel of health-relevant genetic variants and the analytical frameworks used by SoDNAscan are proprietary. The AI-generated content in your Health Book is derived from your data and may be used freely by you.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING:

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE
WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR RELIABILITY OF AI-GENERATED CONTENT
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT GENETIC ANALYSIS REFLECTS THE CURRENT STATE OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE SUITABILITY OF THE INFORMATION FOR ANY PURPOSE

IN NO EVENT SHALL SODNA BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR PERSONAL INJURY
SODNA IS NOT LIABLE FOR DECISIONS YOU MAKE BASED ON INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE
SODNA IS NOT LIABLE FOR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF AI-GENERATED CONTENT
SODNA IS NOT LIABLE FOR ACTIONS TAKEN BY THIRD-PARTY PROCESSORS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR OWN TERMS

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by negligence, (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or (c) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

18. Research

SoDNAscan does not currently operate a research program. If we introduce a research program in the future:

Research participation will require separate, explicit consent — completely independent from your agreement to these Terms
You will be able to use the full Service without participating in any research
Research consent will be withdrawable at any time
De-identified data is insufficient for genetic research due to the inherent identifiability of genetic data; therefore, any research program would require full informed consent
