Will Embark share my results with others?

How Embark uses information 

For the most up-to-date information on what information we collect and how we use it, please review our Privacy Policy. 

Managing your dog's profile visibility

By default, when you create a dog profile, the privacy settings are set so that the following pieces of content will be visible from your dog's public profile page. 

• Breed: Sharing the breed mix, personality profile, family tree, ancestry, and relatives on the public page.
• Traits: Sharing their physical and behavioral traits on the public page.
• Profile picture: Sharing their profile picture on the public page.
• Photos and videos: Share photos and videos you've uploaded on their public page.

By default, this privacy setting is off:

• Health: Sharing their genetic health results on the public page.

You have the ability to choose which features of your results, if any, you want to include in your dog's public, shareable profile. 

For steps, please see How do I change my dog's privacy settings?

Breeders and Matchmaker 

If you have a Breeder Account and your dog's breed is available in Matchmaker, other breeders will have access to your dogs' health and trait information to assess potential breeding pairs. 

You are able to opt your dogs in or out of this tool by following the instructions here: How do I opt my dog into Matchmaker?

Will you discuss my dog's results with my veterinarian?

Not unless you want us to! You can send your dog's results to your vet or give us consent to discuss the results with them. You can find your dog's Vet Report at the bottom of their summary page and can email or download it as a PDF. 

You can also add your Veterinary clinic to your dog's Profile within the "edit profile" section. If your vet then reaches out to Embark to discuss your dog's results, we are able to review the results with them.
