Ancestry.com has a long, storied history of incentivizing people to willingly hand over their DNA for the hope they might be related to Abraham Lincoln. The worlds largest genealogy website is hungry for people’s private data, and they have some very interesting corporate partners. Ancestry claims it has world-class data privacy protections, but users still need to accept that companies aren’t necessarily bound by HIPAA laws.

This testing kit isn’t even a good deal. The product often goes on sale for around $70.
