Can I file a claim if I'm related to folks who shared their (and by extension, my) DNA with this company?

  This will basically be everyone in the world. Could be the largest class action ever?

        You can be held liable if fraud was committed and you were aware of it.

        Spruik Promote or publicise. A new word to me, and not one I’ll use.

          It seems like a word that's read and not spoken.

  I may actually try my hand in conciliation court against them on this one. I received a test kits back around 2015 from a family member, but was disgusted at the idea that there was no possible way they 1) wouldn't go under and sell my data 2) be breached. I feel like these sort of outcomes for these types of services are very obvious as highly likely to anyone who works in proximity to tech, and especially startups. Anyway, I never submitted the test. But I know for a fact that family has. It's really annoying to that others can make these sort of linked decisions for you - especially as we are now acutely aware that this type of data can, will and I'm sure is being used in ways that basically nobody would consent to.
