  23 and me isn’t a Healthcare provider and not a “covered entity” under HIPAA . So the protections that would apply if you got genetic testing through your doctor from a actual medical genetic testing company don’t actually apply to 23 and me. Though the company maintains it follows federal regulations voluntarily “as a courtesy.”

  So don’t worry, your genetic data is protected by the good will of venture capital tech bros.
