Open the companion tool →Why genetic privacy requires proactive management
Genetic data is unique, permanent, and shared with biological family members who never consented to testing.
Opting out of commercial research partnerships and requesting physical sample destruction stops ongoing AI model processing.
The protocol
- Log into your DNA service account settings and locate 'Research Consent' or 'Data Sharing'.
- Opt out of third-party research, pharmaceutical partnerships, and open database indexing.
- Request the physical destruction of your biological DNA sample stored in the lab.
- Delete your raw DNA data file from third-party upload sites.
What the tool does
Audit DNA service privacy options and generate a sample destruction request letter. Runs in browser.
Limit first: This tool generates formal request letters. It cannot delete lab records directly.
Open the companion tool →One human next step
File formal data deletion requests directly with any secondary genealogy sites where you uploaded raw DNA files.
