| Will my DNA sample be safe? |
The samples are sent to our laboratories in specially designed tamper-evident packaging. Once testing is complete and you have received the results, your DNA sample is stored securely for 3 months after which time it is destroyed. In paternity cases all identification paperwork is held by Cellmark for a period of one year after testing is complete after which time it is destroyed in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998. As directed by Data Protection laws your information will not be passed onto anyone you have not given us authorisation to do so.
