Matchis sends the cotton swabs containing your buccal mucosa to a laboratory that isolates DNA from them. The lab does not receive any personal data, only a barcode that can only be traced back to you via Matchis.
The DNA forms the basis for determining your tissue profile (HLA), with which a match with a patient can be made. In order to be able to update the tissue profile with new characteristics based on the development of the technology, the lab stores your DNA for an indefinite period. This allows an even more accurate match to be made over time. Matchis will never give your personal data to the lab without your express written consent.
