Yeah if there was a way for it to be private and anonymous with many layers of protections, I’d be interested. But. There isn’t.

Seeing as how no company can be trusted, no.

I wouldn't trust them with my contact information, much less my genetic information.

If you want to be up for snitching on your old timey serial killing relatives, you do you but it's not for me.

Eh it’s no big deal. I leave dna samples all over and I don’t get to learn neat stuff from those.

Well, it works fine to find relatives. But it's sad if you then find out those relatives have absolutely no idea of their heritage so you won't find out how you're connected.

But it's nice to upload the data to Promethease and see what kind of diseases may await you in the future.

Hard no. Huge privacy issues with all of those companies and questionable how useful/accurate the data you get back is anyway.

Nope. I was quietly mad at my mother for taking part.

I found it useful. It enabled me to break through a genealogy "brick wall" by connecting with a 3rd cousin who had more info on a pair of my (our) great-great-grandparents.

I'm not too concerned about privacy. I shed DNA all over the place just by existing, so I'm not really expecting that information to be private going forward.

There has been some controversy regarding the results of such tests. So, personally, I highly doubt the claims regarding what I can learn from a test, while I absolutely don't trust the companies doing the test, so personally it's an easy no.
