While the new age of collecting and sharing genetic data is transforming our understanding of who we are, where we come from, and the health risks we might face, it also raises real concerns about privacy and security. But it’s not just genetic data that has the potential to be used in ways that we didn’t intend; it’s all data. In this episode, we’ll talk candidly about the current state of data privacy—who has access to your data, the things they’re learning about you (and others like you) from it, and why it's critical for you to educate yourself and read terms of service. Please note: the views and opinions shared in this podcast are those of the individual participants and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of 23andMe or their affiliates and partners.
