Customer Information

GenoLab Diagnostics will collect information that identifies you online only when you voluntarily provide it through our site or when registering with ordering physicians or authorized healthcare professionals.

We will not give, sell, or otherwise disclose any personal information to any third party unless you have authorized us, we are legally required, or it's necessary to protect and defend the rights or property of this website.

We may use your personal information within GenoLab Diagnostics to provide requested services, assist with questions about our services or billing, and to process or collect payments.

Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Non-Personal Information

Our site may use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests. You can choose not to accept cookies via your web browser settings.

It is our policy to protect your account information against unauthorized access or release. Please exercise caution when sending sensitive information via email, as email messages lack the security features of our website.

We have procedures limiting GenoLab Diagnostics' employees' and contractors' access to personal information. Only those with a business reason to know have access. We educate our employees about confidentiality and customer privacy through standard operating procedures, mandatory training, and internal policies on data privacy. We take appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce employee privacy responsibilities.
