Reminder that you can download and save your data locally then revoke your consent agreements and delete your data. Who knows if it will actually be deleted though.

Yeah good luck with that.
I doubt they’d actually delete data now. Who are you going to sue if they don’t? They’re bankrupt and they’ll just pull a “oh we forgot to delete it!”
They need these samples and data to be sold off to pay off a lot of groups so I honestly don’t believe they’ll delete anything
If your brother or even cousin did a test it’s about good enough to be applied to you too for a lot of cases so yay, so much fun about human DNA databases now being available to the highest bidder.
Who would bid? Maybe America’s new Nazi’s would like an insight in their racial purity? So many fun ideas!
That company should be burned down to the ground

Seems like they did a pretty good job of burning themselves to the ground.
