What is the California Genetic Information Privacy Act?
The California Genetic Information Privacy Act (GIPA) is a law that regulates how direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies collect, use, and share genetic data. It aims to protect consumer privacy by enforcing strict consent requirements, data access rights, and security measures.• Who Must Comply: Companies offering at-home genetic testing services (e.g., 23andMe, AncestryDNA).
• What is Covered: Genetic data from DNA/RNA analysis, excluding fully de-identified data.
• Consumer Rights:
• Consent must be obtained before collecting or sharing data.
• Consumers can access, delete, or revoke consent for their genetic data.
• They can request the destruction of biological samples.
• Companies cannot discriminate against users exercising these rights.
• Enforcement & Penalties: The California Attorney General and other legal authorities can impose fines up to $10,000 per violation.
Essentially, GIPA ensures that genetic testing companies cannot misuse consumer genetic data without explicit permission and must maintain transparency in their data policies.
