How Private Is an At-Home Paternity Test?
Published February 15, 2026 · Medically reviewed by the partner laboratory's medical director, AABB-accredited relationship-testing laboratory
At-home paternity testing is only as private as the provider makes it. At BuyPaternityTest, we ship in plain unmarked packaging, use a non-identifying billing descriptor, apply HIPAA-compliant handling at the lab, never sell or share your data, and destroy your records within 30 days upon written request.
Shipping and billing
Kits ship in plain brown packaging with no company name or product hint. The billing descriptor on your card statement is a neutral abbreviation, not our brand name.

Data handling
Samples are handled by barcode, not name, from the moment they arrive at the lab. Digital records are HIPAA-encrypted. We never sell or share personal data or DNA data with third parties.
Deletion on request
Email support with a written deletion request and we destroy your physical samples and digital records within 30 days. Some information may be retained per legal recordkeeping requirements (e.g., financial transactions), but nothing genetic is kept.
