Default off
Uploaded genomes, reports, and intake context are used to assess fit, run the report workflow, protect the service, and deliver the report. Secondary research use is not part of default service consent.
Separate consent
Any research, model training, public database upload, partner sharing, or third-party enrichment requires separate plain-language consent that can be declined without blocking the core service.
Pseudonymisation boundary
Spoke describes pseudonymised data as pseudonymised, not anonymous, unless a specialist anonymisation assessment supports a stronger claim.
