Privacy Focused DNA test (lemmy.world)

With 23 and Me getting into selling information for added revenue, the privacy of DNA testing providers makes me not want to use the service. Can anyone recommend a privacy focused DNA testing company that has a good track record?

Why hasn't Ancestry been sued then? I know there were issues around GEDmatch a while ago (never used them) in terms of privacy. Nothing I've read in Ancestry's Privacy Statement says that they can legally retain data after you've requested deletion for an indefinite time. Are you sure it's Ancestry you're thinking of and not another company?
