I would be more concerned with information being passed to providers of life, disability, or long-term care insurance. The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) prohibits the use of genetic information in health insurance and employment, but not those areas.

That seems unlikely, though. The article's approach is probably enough to prevent one's genetic information from being passed on to such insurance providers.
