Hi Robert! Thank you for the suggestion. We understand why having a printed copy could be helpful.
At this time, we don’t send hard-copy printouts of DNA results for security and privacy reasons and the printed copies don't reflect any real time updates that may be available. However, once your results are ready, you’ll be able to view, download, and print your reports directly from your online dashboard at any time.
This allows you to keep a personal copy while ensuring your genetic information remains secure. Please let me know if you’d like help accessing or downloading your reports when they’re available. Kindly reach out to us by sending us an email to support@crigenetics.com or calling our customer care team USA 1-800-571-9216; UK +44 8002081204. We look forward to a productive conversation with you to ensure you get the level of satisfaction you deserve. Have a great day!
⚠️ UK WARNING: ILLEGAL GDPR BREACH – DATA HELD HOSTAGE
DO NOT BUY IF YOU LIVE IN THE UK.
I have been waiting 9 months for my own raw DNA data. CRI Genetics has formally admitted via email that they hold my data but refuse to release it, citing "internal company policy."
Let’s be clear: This is a direct violation of UK GDPR Article 15 (Right of Access).
They are happy to take money from UK customers (using a UK Freephone number) but refuse to follow UK Law. They are effectively holding my sensitive biological data hostage.
Ancestry/23andMe: Allow you to download your raw data instantly.
CRI Genetics: Refuses access, preventing you from using your own DNA for medical research on other platforms.
I have filed a formal complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Until they comply with the Data Protection Act 2018, this service is fundamentally broken for UK users. Avoid at all costs.

HI Michael! Thank you for reaching out and for sharing your concerns. We're sorry for the frustration this situation has caused and understand how important access to your information is.
At this time, we do not offer raw DNA data download or upload, and we understand this may be disappointing, especially if you were hoping to use your data with another service.
The reason we do not provide raw data access at the moment is tied to privacy protection. Raw genetic files are extremely sensitive, and once they are downloaded, they can become vulnerable to unauthorized access, data mining, or misuse by third parties including pharmaceutical or analytics companies without a customer’s knowledge or explicit consent. Not only your information is compromised but our secured algorithm as well. Our policy is designed to minimize any possibility of a data leak and to keep your genetic information as secure as possible.
That said, we do recognize how important this feature is to many customers, including yourself. We’ve added your name to the list of users requesting raw data access. This feedback is something we actively review as we work toward a secure method of providing raw data in the future. We are currently exploring connections to a reliable DNA database that would allow us to offer this safely. Once it becomes available, you will be among the very first to be informed.
Save your money. Don't use this company
The cost compared to what you get is not worth it. The company floods you with too many ads and too little information. The health report and the maternal tracing gives you very little for the amount spent.

Hi Tim! Thank you for sharing your concerns. We understand how information online can raise questions, so I want to address this directly.
Following the recent FTC review, we can reaffirm the accuracy of our science and the quality of our products. The FTC’s concerns were minor and related only to early sales and marketing practices that were discontinued long ago, not the accuracy of our DNA results.
Rest assured, we remain fully committed to maintaining the highest standards in both our testing methods and our customer experience.
For your convenience, here is a statement from our CEO with full details:

I spent around 260 last december. I sent off two kits and am still waiting on the results. The kits themselves very difficult to know what kit had all the ancestry package with it! I ended up sending the wrong kit with the wrong person and am still without results. The company is sending us in circles and it is very disappointing!!! They will not call you , everything is email !

Hi! Thank you for reaching out, and I’m very sorry for the frustration this experience has caused you. I completely understand how disappointing it feels to be waiting this long, especially after investing in multiple kits. We also want to assure you that we are not trying to send you in circles. Our support team handles these cases through email because the lab must verify kit numbers, registrations, and sample details, which requires written documentation.

I AM GRAPHOLOGIST
I am graphologist . I always had the idea that graphology is a very dangerous thing , because anyone can't hide who is .
Now , I see study of DNA is even a more dangerous thing , because anyone can't hide who is , absolutely .
DNA confirm what graphology reveal . But DNA goes even much far away .
CRI Genetics is a very serious company and their scientists are very competent . The customer service is very good and cooperative .
I highly recommend CRI Genetics .

Hi Moise! Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. Your insight as a graphologist adds a fascinating layer to how people think about identity, patterns, and what we reveal without realizing it. It’s remarkable to hear how you see DNA analysis and graphology intersecting, two very different fields, yet both offering unique windows into who we are.
We truly appreciate your kind words about the science behind our reports and the work our team puts into supporting customers. Hearing that you had a positive experience and feel confident recommending us means a great deal.
If you ever explore more of your results or have questions from your professional lens, we’d be glad to continue the conversation. Have a great day!

I'm very disappointed that nothing in the data results included the history of my family once they arrived in America. I know my maternal grandfather was half Irish, but that isn't mentioned. I'm also told they we have Native American, French (maternal) and German (paternal).

Hi James! Thanks for sharing your feedback! I understand your disappointment. Our ancestry reports focus on estimating your genetic origins by comparing your DNA to reference populations. This gives a broad overview of your heritage, but it doesn’t track specific family migrations after arriving in a country, which is why some details, like your grandfather’s Irish heritage, may not appear.
We really value your input and, if you’d like, we can review your results together to help make sense of them alongside your family history. Please reach out to us by sending us an email to support@crigenetics.com or calling our customer care team USA 1-800-571-9216; UK +44 8002081204. We look forward to a productive conversation with you to ensure you get the level of satisfaction you deserve. Have a great day!

My mother was exotic with black hair blue green eyes and beautiful dark complexion. I am fair and blue eyed like my father. I was curious of where her ancestors could be from?

Thank you so much for sharing your story! It’s wonderful to hear how your ancestry results helped you connect the pieces of your family history and gain insight into your mother’s heritage. Visiting Morocco and seeing a resemblance must have been such a meaningful experience!

Wrong ancestry results
Wrong ancestry results. Forced me to do a test with 23andme which provided much more accurate results. Your results for me were so far off that I believe you mixed up my sample with someone else’s.

Hi George! We're really sorry to hear about your concerns with your results and understand how disappointing that must feel, especially after taking the time to complete the test.
Please rest assured that every sample at CRI Genetics is processed under strict lab protocols designed to prevent mix-ups or contamination. Each kit is registered with a unique barcode that’s tracked from activation to analysis, ensuring your results are matched only to your DNA.
That said, we’d be happy to investigate this further and review your results to ensure everything checks out.

Hi Steve! We're really sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with your results. We completely understand how frustrating it can be when the findings don’t seem to match your expectations.
Our reports are based on your unique genetic data and comparisons with global reference populations, which can sometimes highlight ancestry or traits that aren’t well-documented in family records. Still, we’d be happy to take another look at your results and help clarify any inconsistencies you noticed.
Please reach out to us by sending us an email to support@crigenetics.com or calling our customer care team USA 1-800-571-9216; UK +44 8002081204. We look forward to a productive conversation with you to ensure you get the level of satisfaction you deserve. Have a great day!
Get your facts right
Get your facts right. I am not Peruvian. I am a generational Chilean. Great great grandparents are also Chilean. Chile is not mentioned at all in my report. So therefore this is a waste of money and my time.Very dissatisfied .I want a refund.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We completely understand how frustrating it can be when your ancestry results do not align with your known family history.
At CRI Genetics, our ancestry reports provide a research-grade estimation of your BioGeographical Ancestry with a confidence level of over 90%, using a global reference database. Sometimes, results may reflect historical migrations or genetic connections that are less obvious from recent family history, which can explain why certain regions appear in the report.
We want to make sure we address your concerns properly. Please reach out to us via email, chat, phone, or Facebook Messenger so we can review your results.
Overly suprised!
I was born to think I was 50% Greek and 50% Polish as Mom was 100% Polish and Dad, 100% Greek. I didn't realize going back so may generations, different ethnicities were added in my DNA. I was shocked!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
It’s completely understandable to feel surprised when your DNA reveals ancestries you didn’t expect. DNA is a complex mix inherited from many generations, and it often uncovers ancestral contributions beyond what we know from recent family history.
At CRI Genetics, our ancestry reports provide a research-grade estimation of your BioGeographical Ancestry with a confidence level of over 90%, giving you a detailed view of your genetic heritage. As our database and algorithms continue to grow and improve, your results may evolve as well, offering an even richer picture of your ancestry over time.

Hi John! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! That’s a great question and we completely understand why you’d expect that.
At this time, our system is not connected to other DNA companies’ databases for privacy and security reasons. Each company uses its own database and algorithms, which means relative matching is only possible within the same platform.
That said, we’re actively exploring ways to expand our database in the future while maintaining the highest level of data protection for our customers. We truly appreciate your feedback — it helps us improve and plan for new features that matter most to you.
