Do they store the dna in a database that law enforcement could, perhaps with a subpoena, have access to?
Here's a video how law enforcement can get a match on a dna database through any of your relatives that did a dna test there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT18KJouHWg
This kind of thing creates a chilling effect in which people avoid getting the medical help they need just to not contribute with a permanent genetic database. This kind of stuff is exactly why HIPAA exists.
Also: why did they give you a summary, but gave the doctors a full report? Could you get the full report if you asked them?

If the tests aren’t FDA approved they probably don’t want to risk the regulatory ire that 23&Me encountered.

But then why the doctors have access to it?
