Each Basepaws test kit states an expiration date of about two years after your purchase. This date will only be relevant if the purple liquid in the test tube has disintegrated to less than about a centimeter deep. You can send in an &quot;expired&quot; kit if it has plenty of liquid in the vial, we will let you know if it happens to have any quality issues! We offer free replacement kits if the sample is not viable. International customers are still required to pay for return shipping of free replacement kits.Once the swab is used and a sample has been taken from your pet, the sample itself will remain viable for up to a year.You are welcome to purchase a $15 replacement kit if your test kit has expired and does not have enough purple liquid in the test tube. Please contact our team at <a href="mailto:hello@basepaws.com">hello@basepaws.com</a> with your original kit ID number to proceed with an invoice for a replacement kit.

Our medical information is protected by HIPAA, an act of Congress that provides rules to ensure the security and confidentiality of your health information. California state and most other states have laws preventing public disclosure of veterinary treatment records. Basepaws adheres to this law. We take your personal information very seriously and this includes the genetic results of your pets and we try our very best to protect your privacy. Although there are no privacy laws governing cats and their genetic information, we have implemented the following procedures to try to protect your information as much as possible.&#xA0;We have a strict internal privacy policy that instructs our employees on how personal information collected on our website or obtained through testing of your pets is handled. This information belongs to the person who registers their pet&apos;s Basepaws DNA Test. The pet&apos;s laboratory results can only be communicated to the pet owner. In other cases, it may be a veterinarian (upon the pet owner&apos;s request). If it is not the individual who ordered the test, we require permission from the original customer and may require a medical release form to be signed by that original customer, releasing the information to the third party. It&#x2019;s that simple. We will not release your pet&apos;s information to a third party without your written consent.
