Protecting your data
At Nucleus, keeping your data private and secure is a fundamental part of our mission.
Regulatory compliance
Nucleus is committed to meeting and, in many cases, exceeding the regulations set by the healthcare and tech industries.
We are in full compliance with the following:
Data privacy
By default, we do not share your genetic data — or any protected health information — with any third parties. The only exception is for service providers or businesses that directly assist Nucleus in delivering your results.
We do NOT share your data with the following:

Research program

100% sequenced in the U.S.
Nucleus is proud to process all customer samples in the United States on machines made by American companies.
FURTHER PROTECTION
Stringent security standards
External audits
Nucleus has industry-leading cybersecurity companies performing regular penetration tests for network configuration, infrastructure, and application layers.
Identity protection
Your personally identifiable information (like your name and email) is stored in a separate database from your genetic data. This means even if someone could access one of these databases, they could not connect your identity to your genetic data, or vice versa.
Data encryption
Data encryption (also called “encryption at rest”) is enabled by default for all storage. Keys are managed by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and are stored in the AWS key management service.
