Can deCODEme link my chosen account name or username to any personal identifier I have provided such as my address or e-mail provided in my billing information?

0

deCODEme allows you to select your username at will, as long as it doesn’t conflict with existing usernames of other people. This ensures that you can remain unidentifiable while ensuring that the system knows which sample belongs to which username. deCODEme accounts are unidentifiable, unless you decide to keep your name or other personal identifier in your settings. Emails, names or addresses, or other billing data cannot be used as identifiers within deCODEme. Indeed, many users may share the same email address, shipping/billing address, credit card etc. Thus, such information cannot be used to directly identify users and users can change email addresses once their account has been created. Email addresses, provided by users, are only used for the purposes of contacting users in relation to the services of the deCODEme website, for example for friend invitations or for the deCODEme newsletters. Under no circumstances will the email addresses be provided to 3rd parties.
