The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation is an EU Regulation which was put in place to ensure the protection of all EU citizens' data privacy. It also gives people the rights to access any information held about them.
If you provide the EDGI UK team with a saliva sample, your biological sample is protected by the Human Tissue Act 2004. The Act regulates the removal, storage and use of human tissue and ensures all samples are collected appropriately.
