Giving them your genetic data was fine, but your birthday was too much?

I tried to hide my identity as much as possible when I made the account. This included using a pseudo-random email address, fake name, fake address, and (unfortunately) fake birthday, as all of those things could be used as foreign keys to try to match my identity

The real DNA negates a lot of that unfortunately. If any family member also used the service they can use that to triangulate your identity.
