How is this legal?
did you not read the terms and conditions before you agreed to them
No
The data is annonimized.
That somehow makes sense. But still, shouldn't you be able to own "the copyright" for your own DNA? If not there should be some legislation for that I think.
No way man, you're not a corporation so you don't get to own anything.
I'm sure you agree to pass any "rights" to your DNA when you sign the T&C.
I believe 23 and me stated in the past that they own the data that they process, so in essence if you, or a family member submit their DNA to them, then they own that DNA and part of the DNA of the relatives of whom submitted the sample.
