    Is there a way to request my info to be deleted even if I never sent them anything? Like, maybe my relatives did and then linked my personal info or something?

    Or is that being too paranoid?

      That would be an interesting legal case. If the data is able to identify you, is it not your data?

      The data is based on a sample, so unless your relatives collected a phial of spit from you and didn’t tell you why, there’s not a lot they would really have. Maybe name and DOB based on a family member adding it to a family tree, but you can likely just ask your family of they did that. IIRC, that’s a premium feature anyway.
