Not sure I understand your concern: It’s standard boilerplate for the case where private data is required to run an analysis, but is not otherwise used.

Not saying that it should necessarily be trusted but the wording isn’t problematic. What is problematic is the complete lack of legal security.

Definitely not boilerplate. The privacy policy is quite light, doesn't define terms like "external parties", doesn't even have the company's name or origin.
Yeah I mean Im a one man shop, have no lawyer. The privacy policy is this: we don't store your genome or any identifying information beyond the report which is automatically deleted (or deleted at your request) within 48 hours.

Is there anything else you want to know?

I was talking specifically in the context of OP’s comment. I otherwise agree with you. But the wording that OP seems to complain about simply means that, in order to perform the requested analysis, the company needs to temporarily store your data.
I don't see any other way to do it haha
