SIBLINGSHIP FAQS

WHO NEEDS TO TAKE A TEST?

For a siblingship test, we will need a sample from each of the siblings invoved.
We recommend where possible, that any available parents also participate in the
test.

Please tell us the total number of people taking part in the test by selecting
the appropriate drop-down box at the bottom of this page when submitting your
booking.

DOES THE MOTHER HAVE TO BE TESTED?

Ideally yes, but it is possible to do a siblingship test without a sample of the
mothers DNA.

If the mother is not providing a DNA sample, please tick the No box if asked as
you submit the booking form.

HOW IS THE TEST TAKEN?

DNA samples are taken by simply rubbing a test swab a few times on the inside of
the cheek. This process collects a small sample of cells which is all we need to
extract the DNA and run the Paternity Test.

A sterilised test swab for each of the people involved in the test is included
in the DNA Testing Kit.

WHERE DO WE GO TO TAKE THE TEST?

You don’t need to go anywhere, you can collect the DNA samples required for the
test in the privacy of your own home.

HOW MANY DNA TESTING KITS DO I NEED?

One DNA Testing Kit includes everything you need for everyone providing a DNA
sample at the same address. You would only need an additional DNA Testing Kit if
one or more of the people providing a DNA sample live at a different address.

WHAT IF WE DON'T LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD?

If one or more of the people providing a DNA sample live at another address in
the UK or in a different country we can send a DNA Testing Kit to their address
as well.

If this applies to you choose the appropriate selection from the ‘Delivery
instructions’ below and let us know how many people are at the second address in
the ‘Test Individuals at this Address’ dropdown so we can send the appropriate
number of test swabs.

If you have more than two additional shipping destinations please contact our
friendly customer liaison team to arrange this.

PATERNITY FAQS

WHO NEEDS TO TAKE A TEST?

In a standard peace of mind paternity test, there is usually a sample provided
by the mother, potential father and child.

If more people are involved, for example an additional child or potential
fathers, they will also need to provide a DNA sample.

Please tell us the total number of people taking part in the test by selecting
the appropriate drop-down box at the bottom of this page when submitting your
booking.

DOES THE MOTHER HAVE TO BE TESTED?

Ideally yes, but it is possible to do a paternity test without a sample of the
mothers DNA.

However, if there are two or more potential fathers, and they are related, we
will require additional information. Please see the “Is this the right test for
me section” at the foot of the booking form.

Also, if the potential father is not listed on the birth certificate, we will
need the mothers written consent before proceeding.

If the mother is not providing a DNA sample, please tick the No box if asked as
you submit the booking form.

HOW IS THE TEST TAKEN?

A sterilised test swab for each of the people involved in the test is included
in the DNA Testing Kit.

WHERE DO WE GO TO TAKE THE TEST?

You don’t need to go anywhere, you can collect the DNA samples required for the
test in the privacy of your own home.

HOW MANY DNA TESTING KITS DO I NEED?

WHAT IF WE DON'T LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD?

If one or more of the people providing a DNA sample live at another address in
the UK or in a different country we can send a DNA Testing Kit to their address
as well.

friendly customer liaison team to arrange this.

permitted by law.

MARKETING

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal information
uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, and Usage Data to form a view on
what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is
how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we
call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested
information from us or purchased goods or services from us and, in each case,
you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with
any company outside of NorthGene™ Ltd (and its group companies from time to
time) for marketing purposes.

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any
time by contacting us at any time. You can also click on the relevant link in
any of our emails sent to you via Mailchimp. Where you opt out of receiving
these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal information provided
to us as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration,
product/service experience or other transactions.

ANONYMISED DATA FOR STATISTICAL AND RESEARCH PURPOSES

In addition, our service agreement with you permits NorthGene™ Ltd to use your
data, results, and any surplus biological samples submitted in any studies
relating to statistical and genetic parameters for DNA testing, but only in an
anonymous manner to prevent the identity of any individual being traceable.
Should you not wish NorthGene™ Ltd to use the anonymised information in this
manner, or require additional clarification as to what this entails, please
contact us.

SHARING YOUR INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES

We will never sell your personal information or share it with third parties who
might use it for their own purposes without your express opt-in consent or as
set out below.

Any third parties handling personally identifiable information, such as
Mailchimp and our laboratory sub-processors, will act as data processor, on
behalf of NorthGene. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use
your personal information for their own purposes and only permit them to process
your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our
instructions.

We may have to share your personal information with the parties set out below:

* Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our
business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other
businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the
new owners may use your personal information in the same way as set out in
this privacy notice.
* Service providers who provide services such as IT, laboratory sub-processors,
sample collection and system administration services.
* Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors, and insurers.
* HM Revenue & Customs, regulators, and other authorities who require reporting
of processing activities in certain circumstances.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

We may share your personal information within NorthGene™ and its group companies
from time to time. This may involve transferring your information outside the
European Economic Area (EEA). We ensure your personal information is protected
by requiring all our group companies to follow the same rules when processing
your personal information. These rules are called “binding corporate rules”.

If you request a transfer of your personal information and this involves a
transfer outside of the EEA the expectation is placed upon you as our customer
to ensure that appropriate levels of data protection are in place by the data
recipient.

We do not transfer your personal information outside the EEA for any other
reason, but in the event that we do, we will ensure at least one of the
following safeguards is implemented:

* We will only transfer your personal information to countries that have been
deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the
European Commission.
* Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts
approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same
protection it has in Europe.
* Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer information to them
if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar
protection to personal information shared between the Europe and the US.

SECURITY

We employ reasonable technical and organisational measures to keep personal
information safe and to prevent loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. These
measures include encryption, firewalls, and password protection. It is, however,
your responsibility to ensure that your device is adequately secured and
protected.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach
and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are
legally required to do so.

DATA RETENTION

We will retain your data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes we
collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal,
accounting, or reporting requirements.

Our retention period will usually be 2 years from when we have fulfilled the
purposes we collected it for. However, this may be adjusted when we consider the
amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk
of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the
purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can
achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal
requirements. You may request that your information is destroyed prior to this
date by contacting northgene@biofortuna.com or calling the Client Liaison Team
on +44 (0) 191 233 1414.

YOUR RIGHTS

We want to ensure you remain in control of your personal information.

At any time you can contact us via northgene@biofortuna.com to:

* Find out what personal information we hold about you
* Ask us to rectify or erase any personal information we hold about you
* Ask us not to use any personal information we collect
* Ask not to be subjected to automated decision making (profiling)
* Object to processing of your personal information
* Ask us to restrict the processing your personal information
* Request a transfer of your personal information
* Withdraw your consent to processing

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your
identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to
exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that
personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive
it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to
your request to speed up our response.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to
exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if
your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we
may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it
may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you
have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you
updated.
