    And here's why. I never trusted that the data would be handled responsibly forever.

      I never have either, but I am guess that some relative of yours has done so and you (and I) could be traced by that.

      I listen to too many true crime podcasts where they find someone via a distant or not so distant relative who did submit their DNA. :eek

        I did and am not worried personally. My son did it under a fake name.

            Someone could easily determine he’s my son but that only narrows it down a little. I was a dog in my youth.

              My brother did it. Honestly I don't really care who has DNA data.
