# GeneSync Overview

GeneSync is an optional privacy-focused layer that lets contributors sync anonymized genetic or biometric metrics with Vaultfire. Data is encrypted locally using the same lightweight scheme as `health_sync_engine.py` and is never stored on-chain. Metrics can be uploaded from wearable providers or DNA reports to personalize health quests and tips.

-**Ethical Warning**
- GeneSync is now stable and should not be used to diagnose or treat conditions without consulting a professional.
- Participation is entirely opt-in and genetic metrics remain off-chain.
