Your DNA never leaves your browser, here’s the actual mechanism
“We take your privacy seriously” is a promise. Local-only processing is an architecture. The difference is everything.
When you drop your raw data file into Verinome, it is read into your browser’s memory and parsed there, on your machine, by code already downloaded to your device. Matching against our evidence database, building your scorecards, generating the PDF: all of it happens locally. The genome and everything derived from it exist only on your device.
You don’t have to take our word for it. Open your browser’s Network tab while you analyze a file and you’ll watch it send nothing. Turn on airplane mode and it still works, software can’t transmit to a server it can’t reach, and Verinome doesn’t need one. Our privacy page, and the analyzer itself, run a live counter of fetch/XHR and off-site requests; in the analyzer it stays at zero with your file in memory.
What we do see
To take a one-time payment, Stripe collects your email and card details on its own secure form, never your DNA. We keep a minimal order record, and today, no analytics at all; if that ever changes it will be cookieless, aggregate, and self-hosted. That’s the entire list, and your genome isn’t on it.
See it for yourself: watch the live request counter, or run the 30-second verification yourself.
