You could use a EU-based competitor and then force them to delete the data through a GDPR request. Should work in theory, although I haven't tried it.

- bencollier49 8y agoYou should be able to force a deletion through GDPR in any case, if you're European; 23andme have a European office as well.
- andai 8y ago[serious] But wouldn't they get deleted after being sold to the highest bidder?
- krageon 8y agoUsing the EU office of a US corporation and assuming they will actually act in your best interest without them having been forced to in the past (and even then...) is very unwise, as multiple examples have already show us in the past. Please just use an EU lab (they exist, and they already removed your data before the GDPR if you asked) and accept that it's maybe a hundred euros more expensive. At least you can be a lot more certain you will not be invasively data mined later on.
- renaudg 8y agoNo need to use a competitor : GDPR applies to all EU-based customers, regardless of where the service provider is.
