Helix AI and Genetic Information Notice and Consent Choices

Part 1. Future Family and Genetic Information Notice and Consent Choices

1 Who processes your information

Helix Match Global Inc., 254 Chapman Rd., Ste 209, Newark, DE 19702, United States, operates these features. Contact Legal@helixmatchglobal.com to ask questions or exercise choices. Read the Privacy Policy, Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice and Terms together with this notice. These choices do not waive statutory claims or approve another person's reproductive arrangements.

2 What the tools do

Carrier comparison uses conditions and statuses you choose to provide. Self-declared status is not authenticated testing. Results may omit variants, conditions and inheritance risks, particularly across different panels. Missing information is not a negative result and no shared condition found is not medical clearance. Obtain clinical confirmation and genetic counselling before reproductive decisions. Future Family processes authorised photographs and selected eye colour, hair colour, height, race/ethnicity and sex/gender-related inputs through simplified phenotype calculations and Helix's own image model. The outputs depict hypothetical children/adults and possible traits. Race/ethnicity and gender identity do not establish DNA or biological inheritance. No number or realistic image is a validated prediction of your particular future child. No image confirms health, paternity, conception, sex, appearance or development. The current workflow does not use a third-party image-generation API. AWS hosts the processing; that is still provider processing. No current general training of the image model on users' personal inputs is authorised by these permissions. Future training requires a separate, specific notice and any required optional consent before use begins.

3 Separate choices

Make each choice separately for the feature and audience identified. Optional choices are not selected by default. Declining an optional choice leaves unrelated features available. A consent for processing does not automatically authorise sharing. Select only choices you understand; no choice is inferred from a subscription or profile upload.

Choice A - Optional sensitive profile processing: I explicitly consent to Helix processing the sensitive fields I select to provide the profile/discovery functions I request. I have been shown the selected fields and purpose before submission. I understand optional fields can be omitted.

Choice B - Sensitive profile sharing: I explicitly consent to the specific sensitive fields I select being shown to the audience identified in the sharing screen. I understand whether that audience consists of other eligible profile viewers, matches or specifically selected recipients. Full medical/genetic reports are not included by default.

Choice C - Carrier comparison processing: I explicitly consent to Helix processing the conditions, carrier status and permitted report information I select to calculate an informational comparison. This does not certify either person's results. I have authority to submit my inputs.

Choice D - Carrier result sharing: I explicitly consent to the selected comparison result or status being disclosed to the particular user or recipient group shown before sharing. This does not authorise disclosure of a full report or unselected conditions. Where law requires separate health-sharing consent, this is separate from Choice C.

Choice E - My requested Future Family generation: I explicitly consent to processing my selected photos and traits for the requested phenotype calculation and AI illustration. I understand the limits above and have authority for my own inputs. Processing another participant's data requires that participant's applicable permission or another established lawful basis; my choice cannot supply it.

Choice F - Other users initiating generations involving me: I optionally permit Helix to use the selected photos/traits for generations initiated by the audience I choose. My choice identifies mutual matches, selected users or other eligible viewers; no audience is selected by default. I understand the initiating user will see the permitted output and may receive the disclosed notification. I may disable future participation without deleting my dating profile.

Choice G - Sharing an output: I authorise the selected output to be sent to the recipients/audience identified at this step. I understand a recipient may copy it. The result remains labelled as hypothetical AI content and must not imply the other person has agreed to a relationship or child. A separate participant's privacy settings and rights still apply. There is no active training checkbox in this current release. A future optional training request must identify exact input categories, model-improvement purpose, recipients, retention, withdrawal consequences and safeguards. It must not be preselected, required for unrelated service use or combined with the requested-image permission.

4 Withdrawal and consequences

Change the relevant feature controls where offered or email Legal@helixmatchglobal.com identifying the choice to withdraw. We stop new consent-based use for that purpose and delete/restrict related inputs and outputs where required. Withdrawal does not invalidate earlier lawful processing, but an output's independent copy may remain with a recipient. We address controlled copies and processors as required by law. No indefinite licence or general-training right survives merely because a generation occurred. You may withdraw another-user participation while retaining your own image feature, or request deletion of a report while keeping your account. A feature may cease to work if a necessary input or permission is removed; unrelated services remain available. Mandatory erasure deadlines prevail over the ordinary account restoration period.

5 Input and output restrictions

Do not upload actual children's photos, unauthorised partners' or donors' images, relatives' reports or scraped images for AI. A donor-bank listing does not establish AI rights. No sexualised child imagery, intimate-image abuse, harassment, face impersonation or false parentage claims are permitted. Helix may reject or remove inputs/outputs for legal or safety reasons. Report concerns to Legal@helixmatchglobal.com.

6 Short notice displayed with every result

AI illustration only. Trait estimates use simplified assumptions and may be wrong. This is not a prediction of a particular child, medical advice, a genetic test, paternity evidence or a promise of conception, health or appearance. Consult qualified professionals for reproductive decisions.

7 Accuracy labels reporting and rights

Helix is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent a medical condition. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. This description does not exempt an actual regulated function from law. An adult illustration is not a forecast of a child's development or gender identity. AI results can contain bias, inconsistencies or invented details and may resemble outputs produced for others. No exclusivity, protectable copyright or scientific accuracy percentage is promised.

Report an unsafe or offensive generated result using the in-app reporting function without leaving the app, or contact Legal@helixmatchglobal.com. Do not redistribute harmful output as evidence. No automated output authorises a medical, parenting or payment decision. Listing a donor, liking a profile or paying for Premium does not replace explicit participant permission. Source and image rights must also be established. The separate donor permission form applies where third-party donor inputs are proposed.

To record a choice, Helix identifies the specific fields, purpose, audience, notice version, person giving permission and time. Independent choices remain separately revocable. General service feedback and aggregate service statistics do not create permission to train on your photos, genetic records or sensitive traits. Publicity, research and any future third-party AI transmission require their own disclosures and lawful permissions.

10 Reviewing generated material before sharing

Review every illustration and associated text before downloading or sharing it. Output can contain visual defects, fabricated details, bias or misleading traits even when it looks realistic. Do not claim that a clinician, laboratory or depicted person validated it, or present a generated age progression as evidence of identity. Permission for one generation does not authorise later generations with new inputs, public marketing or a different audience. Report unsafe output through the app or Legal@helixmatchglobal.com. Helix may refuse or restrict prohibited generations; this does not establish that every permitted output is accurate or safe.

11 Consent to a calculation is not consent to a depicted relationship

A request to generate an illustration and permission to use another adult's inputs are distinct choices. Neither establishes that the people depicted are dating, engaged, married, planning a pregnancy or consenting to donor or co-parenting arrangements. Do not use an output as evidence of such agreement, a real pregnancy or a person's reproductive capacity. A realistic likeness or displayed notification is not authentication. Report an unauthorised use by identifying the generation or record; no account or subscription is required to raise a rights complaint.
