Genomic Data Privacy Notice

Supplement to the Mito Health Privacy Policy and Consumer Health Data Notice.

Last Updated: August 5, 2026 · Effective: August 5, 2026

1. Scope

This Genomic Data Privacy Notice (the “Notice”) describes how Mito Health Inc. (“Mito,” “we,” “us”) handles biological samples and genomic data in connection with the Genetic Services. It supplements our Privacy Policy and Consumer Health Data Notice.

Override for genomic data. To the extent our Privacy Policy or Terms contain more general language permitting use or disclosure of de-identified or aggregated information “for any lawful purpose,” or disclosure to research or advertising partners, that language does not apply to biological samples or genomic data. Genomic data is governed by this Notice. We also recognize that genomic data is inherently identifying and cannot be reliably de-identified. We therefore do not rely on de-identification as a basis to repurpose it.

2. Genomic Information We Process

3. Roles and Responsibilities

4. How We Use Genomic Data

We use genomic data only to: deliver the sequencing you ordered; generate and surface your educational insight panels and Concierge explanations; provide support; maintain security and prevent fraud; and comply with law.

We will not:

5. Disclosure of Genomic Data

We disclose genomic data only to the processors and subprocessors listed in Section 12, each bound by data-protection terms, and only to provide the Genetic Services to you, plus, where strictly required, in response to valid legal process (see Section 11). We also reserve the right to disclose genomic data in the event of a merger, sale of corporate assets, or similar transaction where the succeeding entity will be bound by the commitments in this Notice.

6. Artificial Intelligence and the Concierge

To produce plain-language explanations, bounded, relevant genomic context may be sent to our AI model subprocessors. We do not send data to AI providers for model training. Where an insight panel or answer is displayed, its safety metadata and limitations are shown unmodified. You can avoid AI processing of your genomic data by not using the Concierge’s genomic features. Current AI subprocessors are named in our subprocessor list, available on request.

7. Consent and Withdrawal

We collect and process your genomic data on the basis of your express written consent, obtained through the Consent and Authorization for Genetic Services before sequencing. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting help@mitohealth.com or using in-app controls. Withdrawal stops future processing and, at your election, triggers deletion (Section 8). It does not reverse processing already completed and is subject to legal record-keeping.

8. Retention and Deletion

If you want to request deletion of your genomic data or your biological sample, please email help@mitohealth.com.

Please note that after we process requests under this section we will retain certain transaction records required by tax and accounting law, with no genomic content.

9. Security and Breach Notification

Genomic data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with least-privilege access controls and audit logging. Our Sequencing Provider is contractually required to notify us of a confirmed personal-data breach affecting your data without undue delay and within 72 hours of confirmation. If a breach affecting your genomic or health data occurs, we will notify affected individuals and regulators as required by applicable law, including the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule and applicable state genetic-privacy and consumer-health-data laws.

10. Where Your Genomic Data Is Stored

Your genomic data is stored and processed in the United States. We do not transfer genomic data outside the United States, and we do not make genomic data accessible to Mito affiliates or personnel located outside the United States. (Bounded context sent to AI subprocessors is processed in the locations described in those providers’ documentation and our agreements with them.)

11. Legal Process

We do not voluntarily provide genomic data to any government agency, but we do so where compelled by valid legal process. Where legally permitted, we will notify you before disclosure so you may challenge the request, and we construe such requests narrowly.

12. Subprocessors

We rely on subprocessors in the following categories, each under a data-protection agreement:

A current, named subprocessor list is available on request at help@mitohealth.com.

13. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request to access, correct, port, or delete your genomic data, obtain a list of the third parties to whom relevant data is disclosed, withdraw consent, and appeal a denied request. We are your first point of contact and will assist with any request that involves our Sequencing Provider. Email help@mitohealth.com. We respond within the timeframes required by law.

14. State-Specific Provisions

15. Minors

The Genetic Services are for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect genomic data from minors. If you believe a minor’s data has been provided, contact help@mitohealth.com and we will delete it.

16. Changes and Contact

We will notify you of material changes to this Notice before they take effect. Privacy questions and requests: help@mitohealth.com. Our Privacy Officer is Kenneth Lou, reachable at kenneth@mitohealth.com.
