We will not provide any person’s data (genetic or non-genetic) to an insurance company or employer.
- noahth 8y agoSome great things about companies that you can always count on: - They never change their terms of service - The demand for constant growth never causes them to reconsider ethically dubious revenue streams - They never get acquired
- toyg 8y ago- they never fail and liquidate assets in a hurry
- xiphias2 8y ago- They never ever get hacked, and even if they do, the insurance compamy would feel immoral to buy the hacked data dump
- waterhouse 8y agoAlso, does anything prevent them from selling your data to a middleman who then sells it to an insurance company?
- Waterluvian 8y agoCurious. Is that binding forever? Are they not allowed to ever change that and then retroactively give out data?
- salawat 8y agoThen why do they hold onto it instead of destroying any record after transmission? Because it's an asset, and they are there to make money. Not because they are doing it out of the goodness of their own heart. You can't take back information.
