Privacy
Your biology should answer to you. Only you.
Most of consumer health-tech depends on keeping your raw data. We built the opposite.
What we learned from 23andMe
When a health-data company fails, your data is the asset.
In 2025, 23andMe filed for bankruptcy. The genetic data of roughly 15 million customers — already exposed once in a 2023 breach — became part of a ~$305M sale, and a coalition of state attorneys general went to court to block the transfer of that data without explicit consent. Privacy regulators advised customers to delete their accounts.
Your raw genetic data is the most permanent, most personal data you will ever generate. It identifies your relatives. It cannot be changed after a leak. It should never sit on a company’s balance sheet. We built Indaga so that scenario is structurally impossible for our users.
The model
Local-first, by construction.
Nothing is uploaded
Your raw files and the indexes built from them live in a local, permission-gated folder on your device. Indaga works through that local index — the raw genome is never sent anywhere.
The databases come to you
Reference libraries (ClinVar, gnomAD, PGS Catalog and the rest) are downloaded once and queried on your machine. Your individual variants are never looked up in the cloud.
There is no database of you
Because nothing is centralised, there is no honeypot to breach, no asset to sell in a bankruptcy, and nothing for a future owner to inherit.
In practice
What that means for your rights.
- Your data, your device. The exact processing model — on-device analysis and the precise role of any optional sync — is being finalised and will be described here, specifically and accurately, before launch. This page is a promise we intend to keep literally.
- Export and deletion. You will be able to export everything and delete everything, on your own terms.
- GDPR by design. Indaga is built by an EU-based team to a GDPR standard. The single optional network call at query time (a variant-frequency lookup during resolution) is disclosed, not hidden.
Every concrete claim on this page is reviewed before launch so that it is exactly true. If you ever find a gap between this promise and the product, that is a bug.
