Compliance & Disclaimers

HealthBrew Longevity compliance framework. All disclaimers are required by law and cannot be hidden.

1. Page Footer (§2.1)

This disclaimer is rendered at the bottom of every public page via the ComplianceFooter component. It cannot be conditionally hidden — it renders by default in the root layout.

Code location: web/app/layout.tsx (imported: web/app/components/ComplianceFooter.tsx)

2. Biomarker Display (§2.2)

Rendered adjacent to every numeric biomarker, SNP, biological age, or longevity score value on the dashboard. Available in block and inline variants.

Block Variant (Dashboard sections)

Example: Total Cholesterol

235 mg/dL

Educational reference range only. This value is compared to typical ranges reported in peer-reviewed research; it is not a diagnosis. Discuss your results with your physician.

Inline Variant (Dashboard cards)

HDL (38 mg/dL)

Educational reference range only. This value is compared to typical ranges reported in peer-reviewed research; it is not a diagnosis. Discuss your results with your physician.

Glucose (118 mg/dL)

Educational reference range only. This value is compared to typical ranges reported in peer-reviewed research; it is not a diagnosis. Discuss your results with your physician.

A1c (5.9%)

Educational reference range only. This value is compared to typical ranges reported in peer-reviewed research; it is not a diagnosis. Discuss your results with your physician.

Code location: web/app/components/BiomarkerDisclaimer.tsx

3. Educational Article (§2.3)

Rendered at the TOP and BOTTOM of every long-form educational article. Both positions are required.

Educational content. Not medical advice. Citations at the end of this article.

Understanding Your Biomarkers: A Research Overview

Biomarkers are measurable indicators of biological processes. This article explores how reference ranges are established in peer-reviewed literature and how to interpret your personal values in context.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

This article summarizes peer-reviewed research and is provided for educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and reading it does not create a doctor–patient relationship. Consult your physician before making changes to medications, supplements, diet, or exercise. Sources cited above.

Code location: web/app/components/ArticleDisclaimer.tsx

4. Email Signature (§2.4)

Baked into transactional and nurture email templates. Use the constants from compliance/email-signatures.ts in your Resend/Mailchimp templates.

5. Genetic Data Disclosure Block (§2.5)

Rendered verbatim adjacent to the DNA upload control, at the top of SNP pages, and at the top of genetic results summary screens. This is a non-rendered demo showing the exact text engineers will see when building HB-020 (DNA upload UI) and HEA-39 surfaces.

About your genetic data — please read before uploading. Educational use only. The information shown on these pages is educational and is not a medical diagnosis, predictive medical test, or substitute for genetic counseling. Most variants have small population-level associations; very few are individually predictive. Discuss any genetic question with a physician or board-certified genetic counselor. Federal protection (GINA). The federal Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA, Pub. L. 110-233) prohibits most U.S. employers and most U.S. health insurers from using genetic information against you. GINA does NOT cover life insurance, long-term care insurance, or disability insurance, and it does not cover employers with fewer than 15 employees or members of the U.S. military. Consider these gaps before uploading. State genetic-privacy laws (vary by state). Several states give stronger protections than GINA — most notably California (CCPA / GIPA), Illinois (Genetic Information Privacy Act, 410 ILCS 513), and Florida (HB 833 / Fla. Stat. § 627.4301). If you are a resident of one of these states, you may have additional rights including specific consent, disclosure, and deletion rights. Other states may add or differ; consult your state's statute or an attorney for specifics. How HealthBrew handles your genetic data. (a) Your raw genome file is processed for the SNPs HealthBrew explicitly references; (b) we do not sell or share your genetic data with third parties for advertising or research without separate, specific opt-in consent; (c) you may delete your uploaded genome and all derived SNP results at any time from Account → Privacy → Delete genetic data; (d) deletion is permanent and removes the underlying file from our storage within 30 days. Opt-out. You can use HealthBrew's biomarker, wearable, and education features without uploading any genetic data. Genetic upload is optional. You can withdraw consent and delete your data at any time, with no effect on the rest of your account.

Implementation note: This text is verbatim from the master compliance doc (§2.5). Copy this string exactly when rendering on the DNA upload control, SNP pages, and genetic results screens. See HEA-39 for production rendering coordinates.

6. Social Media Captions (§2.6)

Copy-paste constants available in compliance/social-snippets.ts for social publishing.

Short Form (TikTok, Instagram, X)

“Educational only. Not medical advice. Talk to your physician.”

Reddit Comment Tail

“This is educational, not medical advice. I'm not your doctor and this isn't a diagnosis. Talk to your physician about anything in your labs.”

Email Signature (Social DMs)

“HealthBrew Longevity — educational longevity dashboard. This email is educational content, not medical advice. Consult your physician for medical decisions. You can unsubscribe at any time.”
