Consumer health data
Health data gets its own policy, because it should.
Washington and Nevada require a company handling health data to publish a policy dedicated to it. This is ours, and it applies to everyone rather than only to the states that ask for it.
Why this is a separate document
Washington's My Health My Data Act, Nevada's SB370 and comparable state laws treat health data as its own category and require a company handling it to publish a policy dedicated to it, separately from its general privacy policy. This is that document.
It applies to everyone, not only to residents of those states. We would rather run one standard than sort customers by postcode. Our general Privacy Policy covers everything else and still applies; where the two describe the same thing they say the same thing, and if they ever do not, this one governs consumer health data.
In this policy, "we" means Cellubrite Inc. and "consumer health data" means personal information linked to you that identifies your past, present or future physical or mental health status. For a company that sells biomarker panels, that is most of what we hold.
What consumer health data we collect, and why
Each category is collected for the purpose next to it, and for no other purpose.
- Biomarker results
- Each marker, its value, its unit and its reference range. Collected to deliver the test result you bought, and to show you how a marker has moved between tests.
- Genetic data
- Your genotype at the specific variants in the genomic panel you bought, and what that genotype means. Collected only where you bought a genomic panel and gave separate consent for it.
- Biological samples
- The blood or cheek swab sample itself, and the fact that you provided one. Collected so the laboratory can run the test. We never hold your sample; it goes from you to the laboratory.
- Health-relevant demographics
- Date of birth and sex. Collected because reference ranges for many biomarkers differ by both, so a result cannot be interpreted without them.
- Health-care purchases
- Which panel you bought and when. This is itself health data, because buying a fertility panel or an STD panel says something about you.
- Kit and collection records
- The kit identifier you registered and the date you collected. Collected to match a sample to a person and to tell you where your order is.
We collect nothing in these categories that is not needed to provide the product you asked for, or that you have not separately consented to. We do not infer health conditions about you from anything, we do not derive new health data from what you gave us, and we do not collect precise location data at all.
Where it comes from
- From you: what you tell us at checkout, when you create an account, and when you register a kit.
- From the partner clinical laboratory: the result of the test it ran on your sample.
- From our commerce provider: which panel was bought, so we know what to fulfil.
That is the complete list. We do not buy health data, we do not receive it from data brokers, advertising networks or public sources, and we do not obtain it from anyone other than you and the laboratory that tested your sample.
Who we share it with
- Clinical laboratory partner
- The accredited CLIA-certified laboratory that processes your sample and reports the result. The only recipient that receives your sample or generates your result.
- Commerce and payment platform
- Takes your order and processes payment. Receives what you bought and your contact and delivery details. Does not receive results.
- Shipping and logistics carriers
- Deliver your kit and carry the sample back. Receive name, address and a package. Do not receive results.
- Technology service providers
- Host our systems, store data and send our service email, under contracts that permit them to act only on our instructions and forbid using your data for their own purposes.
- Live chat provider
- Runs the chat window, and only if you turn it on. Receives whatever you choose to type into it, which is why we ask you not to type results into it, along with technical details of your visit. Does not receive your sample, your order or your results.
- Recipients you name
- Anyone you specifically ask us to send a result to, such as your own clinician.
- Legal and safety recipients
- Regulators, courts or law enforcement, only on valid legal process, reviewed for validity and scope, disclosing the narrowest thing that answers it.
- Affiliates
- We have none. If that changes, this policy will name them before any data reaches them.
We do not sell consumer health data
We have never sold consumer health data and we do not intend to. Washington and Nevada law would require your signed, specific, revocable authorisation on a prescribed form before any sale could happen, and separately from any other agreement. We are not seeking that authorisation, because we are not selling. If we ever did seek it, refusing would not affect your service in any way, and we could not condition a product on your signing one.
Your rights, and how to use them
You have the right to:
- Confirm whether we are collecting, sharing or selling your consumer health data.
- Get a list of all third parties and affiliates with whom we have shared or to whom we have sold it, and a way to contact each of them.
- Withdraw your consent to our collection and to our sharing of it.
- Have it deleted.
- Appeal if we refuse any of the above.
How to make a request
Write to privacy@cellubritehealth.com from the email address on your account, saying which right you are using. We will verify it is you, normally by confirming control of that mailbox, and for a request touching results or genetic data we may ask for one further detail we already hold, because the cost of getting identity wrong here is disclosing one person's health record to another.
What we do, and how fast
- We respond within 45 days. If we genuinely need longer we tell you why inside those 45 days and take no more than a further 45.
- On a deletion request we delete your consumer health data from our live systems, and from our archives and backups, and we require every service provider and third party that received it from us to do the same.
- On a withdrawal of consent we stop collecting and stop sharing straight away. Withdrawing consent is not retroactive: it cannot undo a disclosure already made, and it does not reach the laboratory's own record.
- If we refuse, we tell you why and how to appeal. An appeal is decided within 45 days, and if we still refuse we give you a way to complain to your state Attorney General.
What deletion cannot reach
The laboratory that ran your test keeps its own record of it under its own retention obligations as a clinical laboratory. Those obligations are set by law, we do not control them and we cannot shorten them. Deleting your Cellubrite data does not delete the laboratory's record, and any company telling you otherwise is describing something it cannot do. We can tell you who to contact, and we will.
We do not charge for any of this, and we will not deny you a product, charge you a different price, or give you a worse service because you used one of these rights.
Consent
We collect and share consumer health data on two bases only. The first is that it is necessary to provide the product you asked us for: you cannot be sent a kit, have a sample tested, or be shown a result without it. The second is your consent, which we ask for separately and specifically where anything goes beyond that.
Genomic panels always require separate, express consent before your sample is processed, described in the consent and limitations notice. You can withdraw it at any time, and you can ask that your sample be destroyed.
We do not bundle consent. We will not ask you to agree to something unrelated as a condition of buying a panel, and a refusal never affects your price or your service.
Geofencing
We do not operate a geofence around any health-care facility, and we do not use location to identify, track, collect data from, or send notifications or advertisements to anyone based on their proximity to one. We do not collect precise geolocation at all. This is prohibited by Washington law and we would not do it anyway.
Who inside Cellubrite can see it
Access to consumer health data inside Cellubrite is restricted to the people who need it to run the service and to support you, it is granted on that basis and removed when it is no longer needed, and it is logged. Everyone with access is bound by a written confidentiality obligation. Our service providers are under contracts requiring them to hold it to the same standard and to use it only on our instructions.
Changes to this policy
We will not collect, use or share consumer health data in a way that is not disclosed here. If we ever need to, we will publish the change and ask for your consent before it applies to data we already hold about you, rather than treating a new posting as agreement. This version is effective 29 July 2026.

If we get this wrong you can complain to the Attorney General of your state. Washington residents also have a private right of action under the Washington Consumer Protection Act. We would rather you told us first, and we would rather fix it than be told about it by a regulator.
