CONFIDENTIALITY
We use Barcode tracker to manage and track information at every
stage of the process – from profile creation to sample collection, processing
and reporting. The system not only allows privileged based access and audit
trails for information storage, but also enables delinking of personal
information.
CONDITIONS
It takes trust to build a relationship and we value your trust
in us. At VieRoots, the protection and security of your information is our
priority. To this end, we have enforced strict security measures to ensure
confidentiality of personal information, samples, and reports.
- Profile creation: All the information you give us including
details in the questionnaire are automatically captured and stored in Barcode
tracker. A barcode ID is generated for your profile that is used throughout the
process.
- Logistics: The sample collection package will be sent to you and
our tie-ups with logistics service providers ensure that your sample is safely
transported to our collection center.
- Sample collection: A barcode is generated for your sample at the
collection center to delink personal information and protect your privacy. The
samples are then sent to our lab for further processing. We use your samples
only for the analyses mentioned in the agreement. Barcode tracker tracks the
chain of custody throughout.
- Sample processing: Throughout the processing, personnel only
have access to the barcode ID. Calculations are performed by the system based
on your entries in the questionnaire and analysis of sample results. Results
are directly parsed into Barcode tracker without any manual entry. This assures
information accuracy and security.
- Reporting: All reports are machine generated. Throughout the
process, no personnel can access your report or tamper with it. Your reports
are password protected to make sure no one can access them, except those people
with whom you share the reports. Information backup: We periodically backup our
system to prevent loss of information. The backup content is stored in a secure
manner.
- Information usage: With your consent, the delinked data
including results from the questionnaire and genetic information generated from
sample processing will be part of our research database. This will help you
serve the Indian community better and contribute to health science.
- Our business is built on your trust and we guarantee
confidentiality of your personal information.
