Then how do they send you the right results...?

  1. The results of your DNA test are stored in an encrypted database — your AncestryDNA™ results are encrypted and stored in our database, which employs a number of security measures. As well as protecting the information from unauthorized access from those outside of AncestryDNA, we strictly limit access to this database from within the company as well.

  2. Your DNA sample is securely stored — After testing is complete, any remaining DNA from your test is archived and stored in a temperature-controlled, secure facility with 24 hour monitoring and limited access to only a small list of authorized DNA team members.

  3. The lab processing your DNA doesn't have access to your personal information — DNA samples are tested in a secure third-party testing lab in the United States. We separate your identity from your DNA sample throughout the testing process. Instead, we use only your unique Activation Code provided in your kit to track your DNA through the testing process.

If society gets to a point where it would be terrifying for someone to have that info on me, we'll probably be required to turn in a vial of blood or spit anyway, right?

Those who test it don't know who you are. Only a few people have access to that.

Yea you're right about that point. I would assume that the technology we have now is beyond our wildest imagination and they have alot more than we could dream of on us.

I'm satisfied with the results. After you get it done you can upload the raw dna data to gedmatch.com and get more detailed breakdowns.
