Many people overshare, every time that you share your data with any company, medical, social, etc, consider that it may be sold (most probably) or stolen by hackers (likely) and sold online.
To create privacy awareness we require to understand the dangers of over sharing. Our private information and the one of our families may end in the hands of criminals, those criminals may consider us a target and make our life quite difficult, steal our identity, attempt to hack us, take over our social accounts and bank accounts.
We need to be aware and reduce our sharing of private information and trust in third parties with our private information.

LOL, plus your race, probably your age, billing address, credit card information and anything else you shared with the company while filling the order form... The map of your DNA probably will have value in the future depending on certain markers you may have...fun times ahead

This also prompted me to browse the site for the first time in forever. Their ancestry tool appears improved. It's now reporting I'm 50% irish/british 50% iranian when before it said I was 75% white or something.
