OVERVIEW

TruDiagnostic engages in research initiatives intended to enrich the scientific and medical community as well as improving TruDiagnostic's ability to serve our customers. We do so by understanding how our customers use our products and services so that we may work to improve global health by identifying health trends and opportunities for public health programs, education, and services. We would like you to join us in these research initiatives, which you can do by providing your consent below. Before providing your consent, we want you to understand our data science best practices and how we utilize your de-identified information to assist with our research efforts.

DE-IDENTIFIED AND AGGREGATED DATA

TruDiagnostic aggregates and de-identifies the health information of consenting participants by using certain information to create a limited data set that does not contain any direct identifiers (altogether, the "Research Data"). If you choose to withdraw your consent, your information will be removed from the Research Data preventing future use, but will not affect the lawfulness of the processing performed before the revocation of the consent.

USE OF DE-IDENTIFIED DATA

TruDiagnostic uses Research Data to conduct research related to our products and services in order to:

• Identify epigenetic health trends;
• Improve understanding of the correlations between demographics, symptoms, and diagnosis;
• Identify opportunities for preventative health programs;
• Develop and publish whitepapers, presentations, and academic publications; and
• Identify and develop potential patents and similar research-based outcomes.

TruDiagnostic's use of Research Data for the purposes described above will not involve the sharing or publication of information that could directly or indirectly identify you or single out any aspect of your health information. The results and outcomes of the research are based upon aggregated data and average trends, not on individual cases.

CREATION OF RESEARCH DATA

The Research Data may be created by aggregating and de-identifying existing and future information you have provided including:

• Information that you voluntarily provide through TruDiagnostic.com, our support line, or e-mail, such as when you purchase products, create an account, make inquiries, and register your product to your account, for example your gender, country, and self-reported health history.
• Health information that is collected from you in connection with your purchase of products and our services, such as your medical history (including sexual health and history, if relevant), family history, samples, test Information, genetic data or biomarkers.
• Information that you voluntarily provide to us in response to surveys we may send to you regarding your use of our products and services.
