FYI, anyone in your family who has done this "for a bit of fun", has just given their whole genome sequence away for however this company sees fit to use or sell (which can include other companies they sell this info to in the future, or any government or law enforcement agency that gets access to this in the future).

Anyone in your family who has given away their genetic info like this, has indirectly given away parts of your genetic information too without your consent.

they didn't care, they still did the test.
