Data Privacy

Meaning

Data Privacy, in the context of personalized wellness science, denotes the right of an individual to control the collection, storage, access, and dissemination of their sensitive personal and health information. This includes genetic markers, detailed biomarker results, and lifestyle data collected through monitoring technologies. Ensuring robust data governance is ethically mandatory to maintain patient trust and encourage honest reporting. Lack of privacy can inhibit necessary data sharing for comprehensive clinical translation.
