Every other DNA site asks you to believe their privacy policy. We’d rather you check ours in about 30 seconds and see for yourself that your genome never leaves your machine.
This counts every fetch/XHR this page makes plus any request that leaves this site, live, since you opened it. Everything is self-hosted, so it stays at 0. When you analyze a file in the app, the same monitor runs with your genome in memory.
Method 1, Watch the Network tab (30 seconds)
- Open Verinome and press F12 (or right-click → Inspect) to open your browser’s developer tools.
- Click the Network tab. Optionally click the 🚫 "clear" icon to start fresh.
- Drag your raw DNA file into Verinome and let it analyze.
- Watch the request list. You’ll see the page’s own files load once, and not a single request that carries your genome. Filter by "Fetch/XHR" and you’ll see nothing fire when your file is processed.
Method 2, The airplane-mode test (the strongest proof)
- Load Verinome once so the page is in your browser.
- Turn on airplane mode / disconnect from the internet entirely.
- Now drag in your DNA file. It analyzes and generates your full report with no connection at all.
- Software can’t send your data to a server that it can’t reach, and Verinome doesn’t need one. That’s the architecture, not a policy.
Why this matters
The 23andMe breach exposed millions of people’s genetic data, and the bankruptcy that followed put that data up for sale as an asset. The lesson isn’t "pick a company with a better privacy policy", it’s "don’t hand your genome to a company at all." Verinome is built on that lesson. There is no upload, no account before you analyze, and no server that receives your file. We can’t leak, sell, or be compelled to produce what we never had.
What we do see
To take a payment we use Stripe, which collects your email and billing details on its own secure form, never your DNA. We keep a minimal order record, and today this site runs no analytics at all; if we ever add any, it will be cookieless, aggregate, and self-hosted. The full list is in our Privacy Policy.
