Right, sorry. That's what I meant that they own the data they process. The reason why I went to owning your DNA is more towards that fact that they are processing or digitizing your DNA and the average consumer doesn't have the power to sue them for their processed data like one of these other companies or a government agency to regulate them. But maybe I exaggerated
Eh, they have about as much power over that as they do any other privacy breaches. It being DNA doesn't make a huge difference
