How We Use Your Data
Your data is used exclusively for:
Multi-Omics Analysis: Running DeepSomatic variant calling, scRNA-seq cell type prediction, pathway enrichment, and AI interpretation
Research Insights: Generating Omics807 insights, clinical evidence summaries, therapeutic matching
Platform Improvement: Analyzing aggregated, de-identified usage patterns to improve algorithms and user experience
Communications: Sending newsletter updates (only if subscribed), responding to support inquiries

Temporary Storage: Uploaded files are automatically deleted after analysis completion (24-hour retention maximum)
Data Retention
Analysis Results: Stored in job history (job_history.json) for 30 days unless explicitly deleted by user
Raw Files: Deleted immediately after processing (VCF, BAM, scRNA-seq CSV files)
Newsletter Emails: Retained until you unsubscribe
Support Emails: Retained for 1 year for customer service purposes
Third-Party Services
Omics807 integrates with the following third-party services:
xAI Grok-4: For AI-generated variant interpretations and biological insights (data sent via API, not stored by xAI)
HuggingFace (Cell2Sentence): For cell type prediction from scRNA-seq data (inference only, no data storage)
Public Databases: VEP, CIViC, gnomAD, AlphaFold, ChEMBL, STRING, Reactome, TCIA, GDC (queries only, no data sharing)
Exa.ai: For literature search and research evidence extraction (anonymized queries)
ClinicalTrials.gov: For clinical trial matching (public API, no data transfer)
Note: Optional integrations (OncoKB, COSMIC) require your own API keys and are governed by their respective privacy policies.
