Privacy Rules Vary by Testing Provider
The rules governing the privacy of at-home DNA test results are far from uniform. Many testing companies promise not to share your test results, but others may use your DNA sequences for research purposes or share them with healthcare providers. Furthermore, most testing companies add your DNA anonymously to their database, and you may not be able to opt-out.
Make certain that whichever provider you choose has procedures in place to separate your identity from the results of your DNA testing. If you're concerned about how your DNA sequences might be used, read the privacy policy of your testing company carefully.
