Terms of Service

By downloading, installing, or using GeneGaze, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the application.

GeneGaze is a client-side genomic analysis application that processes raw DNA data files from services such as 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and other direct-to-consumer genetic testing providers.

The app provides educational insights about:

• 3,500+ clinically significant health markers and genetic variants across 10 constellations
• Pharmacogenomic medication response profiles for 50+ drugs, mapped to CPIC Level A gene-drug pairs
• Personalized nutrition and supplement guidance
• StarMap (Polaris + Big Dipper) with haplogroup and ancestry insights
• Combined modifier scorecards (methylation, cardiometabolic, caffeine, bone, stress-dopamine, and more)
• Physical trait predictions (hair, skin, eyes, taste, body composition)
• Rare disease screening (BRCA, Lynch syndrome, MTHFR, APOE, EDS subtypes, and others)
• Side-by-side genome comparison (up to 3 files)
• PDF report export and email sharing for healthcare providers

All data processing occurs entirely on your device. No genetic data is transmitted to any server.

• Never make medication changes based solely on GeneGaze results
• Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before making health decisions
• Medication response predictions are general indicators based on published pharmacogenomic research and may not reflect your complete clinical picture
• Genetic variants are interpreted based on current scientific understanding, which evolves over time

GeneGaze is designed for educational and informational purposes only. It is not a medical device, does not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations, and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

While GeneGaze cross-references 14 validated databases (ClinVar, PharmGKB, GWAS Catalog, OMIM, gnomAD v4, AlphaMissense, CPIC, dbSNP, UniProt, LOVD, MalaCards, Mastermind, SpliceAI, and ICD-10/ICD-11) and follows ACMG/AMP classification standards, the interpretation of genetic variants is an evolving field. Variant classifications may change as new research becomes available. GeneGaze's analysis represents a point-in-time assessment based on current scientific knowledge. Full methodology is at genegaze.com/data-sources.

Medication response predictions are based on known genetic associations and are not comprehensive. Drug response is influenced by multiple factors including genetics, age, weight, liver and kidney function, other medications, and overall health status. Pharmacogenomic algorithms have been most extensively validated in populations of European descent and may have reduced accuracy for other ancestries. Users should never stop, start, or change any medication based on GeneGaze results without consulting their prescriber.

Use of GeneGaze does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-patient, or any other healthcare provider-patient relationship. GeneGaze does not employ or contract with genetic counselors, physicians, or other healthcare providers to deliver results.

GeneGaze is available as a one-time purchase for $9.99 through the Apple App Store. This single purchase grants permanent access to all current and future features, including:

There are no subscriptions, in-app purchases, or hidden fees. Payment processing is handled entirely by Apple and is subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

By using GeneGaze, you agree to:

• Only analyze DNA data that you are authorized to access
• Not analyze another person's genetic data without their explicit consent
• Maintain the security of your device and any stored analysis results
• Not reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the application
• Not use the application for any unlawful purpose

All genetic data processing occurs locally on your device. GeneGaze does not transmit, store, or have access to your genetic data on any server. For complete details about how your data is handled, please review our Privacy Policy.

The GeneGaze application, including its design, code, algorithms, and content, is the intellectual property of GeneGaze, LLC. All rights are reserved.

Your DNA data and any analysis results generated from it remain entirely your property. GeneGaze makes no claim to ownership of your genetic information or derived results.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GeneGaze and its developer shall not be liable for:

• Any health decisions made based on information provided by the app
• Loss of data stored on your device
• Inaccuracies in genetic interpretation (genomic science is continuously evolving)
• Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the application

GeneGaze is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Genomic science is a rapidly evolving field, and interpretations may change as new research emerges.

We do not warrant that the application will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that all genetic interpretations will be complete or current with the latest research.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of GeneGaze after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maine, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
