DNAVault lets you explore your genetic data — kinship, ancestry, health, and more — entirely on your iPhone. Your raw genome never leaves your phone. Other companies sell you reports, which means they read your data. DNAVault reports are generated on your phone. When any server processing is required, it happens inside a cryptographically attested enclave, encrypted with a key only your phone holds. Nobody can read the result but you. Not by policy. By math. FEATURES • Kinship Analysis — compare genetic data with someone nearby using end-to-end encrypted proximity sharing, phone-to-phone. Nothing is retained after analysis. • Origins — trace your paternal (Y-DNA) and maternal (mtDNA) lineage back thousands of years using Yleaf and mitoLEAF haplogroup classification. • Health — screen 81 ACMG medically actionable genes, pharmacogenomics, and clinically significant variants against a local ClinVar database. • Ask — ask plain-language questions about your genome. Only the text of your question is sent; your genome stays on your phone. SUPPORTED FORMATS • AncestryDNA raw data • 23andMe raw data (v3, v4, v5) • Whole Genome Sequencing — coming soon PRICING • App: $2.95 one-time • All on-device features: free forever • Ask AI: free for 30 days, then $2.95/month or $19.95/year Privacy Policy: https://dnavault.starfleetbio.com/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://dnavault.starfleetbio.com/terms/
