Introduction
With the popularization and development of paternity testing technology, more and more people are beginning to choose paternity testing to confirm the parent-child relationship. And the questions that followed began to surface: Is the paternity test authentic and reliable? Are there privacy leaks and information leakage issues? This article will start from the perspective of privacy and explore whether there are tricks in paternity testing from many aspects.
Is legal protection in place
In our country, personal privacy is protected by law. The \”Personal Information Protection Law of the People\’s Republic of China\” stipulates: \”Individual citizens\’ information is protected by law. Without the consent of the individual citizen, no institution or individual may obtain, use, or disclose the information of an individual citizen, and may not illegally collect, utilize, process, or \”Transfer personal information of citizens.\” However, in paternity testing, there are cases of privacy leaks in private laboratories. Are the issues involving the leakage of personal privacy information received sufficient attention and protection? Can personal privacy issues during identification be legally protected?
Security of private laboratories
Paternity tests are usually performed by third-party private laboratories, and there are concerns about the safety of these laboratories. In the past, many private laboratories performed improper identification or leaked private information because they did not obtain qualifications or relevant certificates. In addition, the security capabilities and confidentiality capabilities of private laboratories cannot be ignored. The risk of leaking personal privacy information is extremely high. How to ensure the safety and privacy of the laboratory is still a problem that needs to be solved in paternity testing.
Certification by authoritative organizations
In order to ensure the reliability and safety of paternity testing results, the government must supervise private laboratories and ensure that the qualifications and relevant certificates of private laboratories are certified and then obtain professional testing qualifications. The appraisal results should be notarized by a notary office or a forensic appraisal agency to avoid the risk of information leakage caused by the appraisal results being stuck in a private laboratory.
Legal protection for privacy protection
At the legal level, the government should strengthen the formulation of privacy and confidentiality provisions; at the same time, it should establish a supervision mechanism for paternity testing and clarify the overall system for the maintenance of paternity testing results. In the handling of criminal and civil disputes, effective window guidance and handling mechanisms must be established for lawsuits involving parent-child relationships to ensure the active and timely realization of citizens\’ legitimate rights and interests.
Is the technical support tight?
Paternity testing is for individual genetic testing. How to ensure the scientificity and accuracy of genetic testing?
The scientific nature of data detection
The key to paternity testing lies in the scientific nature of genetic testing. Whether the technical capabilities of private laboratories are sufficient, whether they have scientific data detection methods, whether they have accurate data operation processes, and whether they can provide authentic genetic results for the person being identified, all of these require private laboratories to have sufficient technical team support.
The rationality of double sampling
Paternity testing generally requires double sampling to ensure the accuracy of the testing results, but whether it can ensure that the genetic sample of the person being tested is unique and authentic, otherwise the paternity testing willThe determined results will be questioned. Under the influence of many factors, whether the paternity test results are scientific enough to prove requires scientific guarantee by private laboratories.
Security of trading technology
The operating technology in paternity testing includes various data detection methods, experimental equipment, scientific operating specifications, etc. When operational specifications are not rigorous, irregular technical operations in private laboratories may affect the authenticity of test results. Freedom to operate the team on how to follow standard practices prevents operational errors and other unavoidable technical failures and human errors from posing risks to the appraisal.
Whether the nature and quality of services are guaranteed
Paternity testing is different from ordinary goods and services. It involves the basic personality rights of citizens. Therefore, whether the nature and quality of its services are guaranteed is also an important issue.
Reasonable price
Most paternity tests are relatively expensive, so the reasonableness of the price is an issue that needs to be focused on. It still needs to be carefully considered whether the course fees obtained by customers through paternity testing companies or private laboratories are reasonable, and whether the fees match the quality of the services.
Quality of after-sales service
Due to the particularity of paternity testing, whether the quality of after-sales service is sound and whether the quality can be guaranteed also needs to be considered. Customers\’ questions about identification results, identification standards and other issues should be responded to and resolved in a timely manner by the laboratory and identification agencies, so that customers can obtain a timely and satisfactory service experience.
Quality of privacy protection
In paternity testing, privacy protection is very important. When conducting paternity testing, laboratories should protect customers\’ basic privacy rights, abide by customer-related terms and avoid leaks of private information, and provide customers with professional cooperation and excellent quality security, privacy and confidentiality services.
Conclusion
Privacy paternity testing is still an emerging field. At the level of improving the legal system and strengthening professional technology, we must ensure the privacy and confidentiality of customer information when necessary to effectively protect citizens’ privacy rights and gradually get rid of the \”waste\” caused by paternity testing that is difficult to overcome. Money\”, \”counterfeiting\” and other man-made bad influences. Only in this way can we ensure the reliability of paternity testing and obtain sufficiently reliable and authoritative scientific proof, thereby providing citizens with better paternity verification services.
