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?

    By the kit with cash, set up a digital identity using a burner email, maybe even a burner cell phone. Mail it in from a different city. Only use a VPN to check the results.

      Also with Ancestry (dunno if 23&me does it), you can opt out of all their suggested extra opt ins, download your raw data and then request them to destroy your sample and delete your account.
