I think this should be step one. If there are specific terms in there that seem odd, then it's worth calling them out specifically.

I'm not sure if you're too paranoid or I'm not paranoid enough, but at least in this case I'm moderately confident it's the former.

Just don't check the 'share my genome with 23&me/participate in their data mining shenanigans' button. Otherwise it's a cool service.

If you're that concerned, use a different name/email/address than you normally would (maybe have a friend order it for you and pay him in cash).

Ask HN: 23andMe - is it safe?
