46 People Are Sharing the Things They Know Must Be True But Have No Way of Proving

Many people have purchased DNA kits like 23andMe as a fun way to learn more about their heritage and genetic makeup. However, there’s a potential dark side to this seemingly fun exploration. What are these companies doing with your data? And we’re not just talking about your web search or spending habits. These companies have a copy of your DNA information.

It’s a scary thought. Direct-to-consumer brands like 23andMe swear that they never share your DNA data with third parties like insurance companies. But what if they decide to do so in the future? Do we read those long “Terms & Conditions” pages when signing up for anything? Regarding our one-of-a-kind biodata, it’s essential to remain vigilant.
