Your health information stays yours.
Fertility data is sensitive. This page explains exactly what Kouros Health collects, how testing data is handled, what we do to protect it, and the choices you control.
- We collect the minimum needed to run the service: your email, your assessment answers, and your test results.
- Samples and results move through a licensed laboratory under barcode-based chain of custody, and a clinician reviews before release.
- Access is restricted, data is encrypted, and your health answers never go to advertising platforms or standard web analytics.
- Marketing emails are optional and separate. You control them by category, and you can export or delete your data.
Three kinds of information, and what each one is for.
We would rather tell you plainly what we hold than leave you guessing.
What you tell us
Your email address, the answers you give in the fertility assessment, and your email preferences. When testing is live, we also hold your shipping address and the details needed to process an order.
What your sample produces
Laboratory results from the testing you requested, the reference ranges and flags applied to them, and any notes from the clinician review that accompanies your report.
What is collected automatically
Basic technical information such as browser and device type, the page you came from, and which version of a page you saw. This stays separate from your health answers and is not used to identify you to advertisers.
You do not need an account, a national ID, a social security number, or an insurance card to check your fertility. The assessment is designed so you can get a useful next step without handing over more than the question asks.
From your hands, to the lab, to a clinician, back to you.
You collect at home
Collection happens privately at home, in packaging that does not identify Kouros Health or the nature of the test on the outside.
The sample travels as a barcode
Your sample is tracked by barcode through a chain-of-custody workflow with a licensed laboratory partner. It is used only for the testing you requested unless you separately opt in to anything further.
A clinician reviews before release
An independent licensed clinician reviews results before they are released to your private account. Numbers are not simply dumped into a dashboard for you to interpret alone.
You decide who else sees them
Results are viewable only by you. You choose whether to share them with a partner, a clinician, or anyone else — sharing is never on by default.
Your results are not the end of the process.
Clinician review exists so you are not left alone with a lab report. Where a result warrants a closer look, that is flagged for professional review — you are not handed a diagnosis, and you are not told a single number settles anything.
Security built around one assumption: this is sensitive.
Encryption
Information is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is limited to staff who need it to deliver the service.
Assessment answers stay private
Assessment responses are stored in a form that is not readable through the public site. They are not exposed in the interface, and not passed to third-party services that do not need them.
No health answers in ads or analytics
Marketing platforms and standard web analytics receive product events such as “assessment started” or “assessment completed”. Your actual answers about health, hormones, lifestyle, or conception are never sent to them.
Separate, revocable marketing consent
Marketing consent is a separate, optional choice and is never bundled with the terms you need to accept to use the service. Unsubscribe from any email in one click.
We do not sell your information
We do not sell your email, your test results, or your assessment answers. We do not send your health information to data brokers.
Vendors are held to the same standard
Laboratories, clinicians, hosting, email, and payment providers each receive only what they need to do their job, under contractual obligations to protect it.
You agree to specific things — not everything at once.
Kouros Health is for adults. You confirm you are 18 or older before you start an assessment or place an order.
To use the assessment you accept the Privacy Policy and Terms, and confirm your age. That is the only consent that is mandatory.
Marketing and educational emails are a separate, optional checkbox. Leaving it unticked does not affect your access to anything.
We keep a record of the consent you gave, when you gave it, and whether marketing was included — so we can prove we only emailed you what you agreed to.
You can withdraw marketing consent at any time, by category or all at once. Withdrawing does not delete records we are required to keep, but it does stop the emails.
Your data, on your terms.
If you joined the early access list or started an assessment, you can manage what we hold without creating an account. Use the personal link in any email we send you, or contact us and we will handle the request.
Choose which emails you receive
Early access invitations, product updates, and educational content are separate toggles you can turn on or off.
Open email preferencesGet a copy of your data
Ask us for the information we hold about you and we will provide it in a portable, machine-readable format.
Make a requestHave your data deleted
Ask us to erase your record and we will remove your email, answers, and preferences from our systems.
Make a requestIf you live somewhere with specific data rights — such as California, the EU/UK, or Canada — you can also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We would rather fix the problem for you first, so please write to us.
As long as you need it — and no longer than we must.
We keep your baseline, results, and preferences so your health history stays useful over time rather than resetting every visit. That is the point of an ongoing service.
Deleting your account removes your email, assessment answers, and preferences from our systems. Some records may persist where we are legally required to keep them, such as order and tax records — those are kept minimally and protected the same way.
A few honest limitations.
- No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We work hard to protect your information, but we cannot guarantee absolute security — please use a unique password and keep your email account protected.
- This policy covers Kouros Health services. If you follow a link to another provider, their policy applies, so check it before you share anything.
- We may update this page as the service grows. If changes materially affect how your health information is handled, we will tell you by email rather than only posting a note here.
- Kouros Health is prelaunch. Today we are collecting early access interest and assessment answers only — no testing has shipped and no payment is being taken.
Talk to a person, not a form.
For anything about your data, your consent, or how testing information is handled, write to us and we will come back to you directly.
This page describes our privacy practices. It is not medical advice, and it does not create a clinician-patient relationship on its own.
