It is also worth noting that we have reviewed all online genetic testing providers (including Navigencis, 23andMe, and Pathway Genomics) based on whether the provider clearly displays a privacy policy that includes information about safeguarding the information they collect from users as well as any results of testing. This can be found by going to http://www.AccessDNA.com and searching for the test or the provider you are interested in.
