Think Of Bees is brought to you by BioMD Genetics Inc. Our customers trust us with their clients’ data privacy and personal information security. Protecting that information, and respecting their privacy, is fundamental to maintaining that trust. We operate with integrity and abide by the most stringent requirements and compliance. Our privacy and security policies meet the requirements of applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Privacy legislation requires organizations to have such policies in place that demonstrate the strong, commonly accepted privacy standards that the public expects. These policies are generally based on the Canadian Standards Association’s Code for the Protection of Personal Information (CAN/CSA-Q830-96). BioMD Genetics incorporates these principles into its business practices.

BioMD Genetics’s policies govern how we collect, use and manage customers’ information – from respecting their permissions and preferences, to protecting and securing their information. We use industry standard security practices to store data separate from a person name or other common identifying information. When our customers enter or transfer information during any use of our services, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Our SSL security is equal to the ones your bank uses for online transactions. Any information that we hold as part of our services will be held in a database with physical and technological security controls and procedures in place, as per the applicable regulations.

We do not store the physical DNA sample unless customers explicitly request it. We do not share with third parties names or other common identifying information linked to the genetic data, except as legally required or with a tested client’s explicit consent. BioMD Genetics does not use genetics data for research unless participants sign an Informed Consent Form and are explicitly informed that their data is used for research purpose. BioMD Genetics does not share the clinical data, personal information, or information of the genetic analysis outside the needs of performing, delivering, and improving our services. For further information regarding privacy, please see the Genetics Analysis Agreement, contact us directly, else refer to Canadian Standards Association.
