bioRitma
Your genome is the most personal data you own.
We treat it that way.
bioRitma was founded by Turkish scientists and engineers trained at Bilkent, METU, UCLA, Oxford, and Carnegie Mellon — people who spent years building large-scale health and data platforms. Protecting genomic data is not a feature we added; it's the foundation the product sits on. We follow industry best practices for encryption, access control, and operational security, and we review them constantly.
Your genetic data is hosted exclusively in high-security Tier 3+ data centers within Turkey, running under continuous video monitoring and on-site security teams. Our cloud layer sits on systems certified to the global SOC 2 Type II standard, backed by always-on monitoring, automated backups, and a documented incident response process.
We designed the system so your genome and your identity are never visible in the same place. Your genetic data is stored apart from anything that identifies you, and the two can only be brought together through audited, authenticated access. No team member holds permission to view both at once — under this "Zero-Knowledge" approach, your data stays anonymous to everyone but you.
Your digital data is encrypted at rest and in transit with AES-256 — the same protocol used in banking and defense. Encryption keys are managed in isolation and rotated on a regular schedule. Personal information is fully decoupled from genetic material, and every sample is tagged with a unique, high-security barcode — shielding your data at the highest technical level.
Every process we run is fully aligned with Turkey's KVKK data protection law. Access to sensitive systems is restricted to the smallest possible team, gated by multi-factor authentication and logged end-to-end. Your data is never shared with third parties without your explicit consent — with bioRitma, ownership and control of your genetic heritage always stay with you.
We operate under Turkey's KVKK data protection law and align our controls with international frameworks including ISO/IEC 27001. Independent audits are part of the roadmap, not an afterthought.
You can access, export, or delete your genetic data at any time. We do not sell it. We do not share it with insurers, employers, or advertisers. Research participation is always opt-in.
