I’d really like my 23 and Me info, but I assumed it was only a matter of time before they were hacked or sold to an untrustworthy organization willing to sell out users to make a quick buck.

If the test was done, the results were sent, and then my test data/info were destroyed on their end, or if I could do a home test where the data never left my home, then I’d do it.

I struggle to understand why companies hold on to all this data. It is a huge liability. In this case, maybe it is so they can identify familial relationships, but is that feature worth the risk?
