Maybe a naive question, but Is there a service like 23 and me but that doesn’t collect/keep my genetic information ? @[email protected]

@[email protected] That’s fine, but I’m more interested in the genertic markers that can be associated to diseases more than finding my ancestry tbh
Still, those reasons apply. If you want such a service, expect to pay way more than usual. I do expect that some companies offer such a service for VIPs and Celebrities who don’t want to pop up in other peoples listings, but they probably pay for it through the nose.
@[email protected] I suspect they are less subsidizes than you think (and they are overcharging on both ends). But anyways, I would be surprised if the actual cost is much more than what is being offered right now.
Are you sure you cannot simply opt out while registering the sample? I live in Germany and I can only use these kinds of analyses for ethnicity/heritage analysis since genetic testing of risk factors as therelike are forbidden here. But I remember myheritage (which I used) asked me a lot of questions on how much data I want to share, what I want to share anonymously, what I want to share for research or keep in the database or sample storage for future analyses. I was also able to absolutely delete all data - account, sample destruction, genetic data - from every database. Comes with the obvious caveat that you cannot access any data from your initial analysis anymore but in my situation that was an ok trade off.
