I read that they sell your information. You could try using a different name, if possible. However, be ware that they might do some type of data consolidation with other services in the future. For instance, a service you do at a hospital in 6 years could help uncover your identity because that hospital uses a third party. I mean, it could potentially even affect your health insurance 10 years from now.
- bjourne 9y agoI signed up before their tos said they would sell my data. I have no problem with it being freely available for researchers, but them selling my dna for profit is complete bullshit.
- tedmiston 9y agoIt seems like one can opt out of having their data shared to third parties. > It is true that 23andMe’s big moneymaker is consumer data, not consumer DNA testing kits. Black said that more than 80 percent of 23andMe’s two million-plus customers consent to having their data used for research. https://gizmodo.com/23andme-is-selling-your-data-but-not-how-you-think-1794340474 https://gizmodo.com/23andme-is-selling-your-data-but-not-how...
