Did any family members though? Particularly close members since that ends up giving a ton of yours as well :\
I know a first cousin of mine did. :( Over 15million people used it.
The only silver lining is that they've been bought by a research company instead of an insurance company. I don't know if theres a legal leg to stand on per the data. They almost 100% agreed to give up ownership to the company, that's the only way it could do any of the genetic relationship analysis that it did.
2 of my cousins and my sister did.
Unfortunate how less people think of privacy these days.
