> 23andMe can do whatever they want with your data This isn't correct. 23andMe are quite expliict about how genomic data may be used in their [privacy policy](https://www.23andme.com/about/privacy/#jump-link-content-content-how-we-use-and-share-information https://www.23andme.com/about/privacy/#jump-link-content-con...). Research using your genetic data only occurs with your permission, and it's stripped of personally identifying information (i.e presented in aggregate) when delivered to third parties. 23andMe can't, for example, sell your genome to an insurance company. 23andMe don't have a fiduciary responsibility to protect your data, they have legal one. If you still find this overly concerning, you could just use 23andMe's genetic sequencing, which when I last checked was priced at below cost, download the data and tell 23andMe to delete all personal information. Once you have the genetic data, there are many options for performing analytics. For example https://www.promethease.com/ https://www.promethease.com/ which uses SNPedia and isn't under the same FDA scrutiny as 23andMe and doesn't have to self-censor.
