Uh...I'm definitely not sharing my genome data with some guy named Ethan at unnamed company.<p><a href="https://meports.com/privacy" rel="nofollow">https://meports.com/privacy</a>
I don't understand why you have your privacy policy as it is right now, at all.<p><i>Privacy is important to us. We want to do it right. (...) At no time is your DNA data shared - or sold - to any external party, period. (...) If a genome is uploaded, but the user does not continue and generate a report, the uploaded genome is automatically deleted immediately. As soon as a report has been generated (no more than 10 minutes) the uploaded genome is deleted.</i><p>Wow! A company that isn't out to steal your data! Great!<p><i>When using Meports you are uploading your genome to our central website for analysis. (...) By uploading your genome you grant us a temporary, limited, revocable, royalty-free, world-wide license to process and use your genome for the purpose of providing you with the service.</i><p><i>"Vision: We believe in using data and software in order to maximize everybody's quality of life. "</i><p>(Actually - you even have a different company "vision" on gene.meports.com. Which one is it?)<p>So what does this mean then? Are you using the word "analysis" to trick people into thinking you don't store data derived from the genome on your servers, but you're not storing the literal file someone is uploading? While, at the same time, reassuring clients you'll never store or sell their data?

I don't even see a name of the creator on this site. Personally, I won't ever submit personal genome data to an anonymous site like this, and no one else should either. Aren't there also legal implications to hosting personal health data online like this? I understand they claim to delete the data after the processing, but can we really trust an opaque process like this?
Looking at the OP history, they only ever posted content related to meports.com.<p>Judging by the titles of the submissions and on content archived by the wayback machine, meports was originally intended to be a "life dashboard" (mood, workouts, etc..) and pivoted approximately a year ago towards its current form, a meta analysis of genome.
