I'm just of the general opinion that any personal data you entrust to any corporation is going to be at risk - regardless of it's assurances. There's also a risk of that corporation being legitimately acquired by another thus nullifying previous TOS, etc. Or worse case, they sell all your info anyway. Connected technology is moving quickly. What might seem safe to share today could become the basis of an insurance claim denial when they discover a genetic predisposition they believe you were obligated to disclose.

This is at least partly true. If you reuse the same information, you should expect to get pwned
It is, it's their fault for sending their data to some company that wants your DNA. I'm curious too, but i'm not that dumb.

If you are dumb enough to send your DNA to a company that keeps it in a database forever, and often shares it with governments to make relationship maps and population control, you deserve everything.
