I read a story[1] about a UK-based Covid testing firm who was planning on collecting and selling their customers' DNA samples. > Its "research programme information sheet", last updated on October 21, says the company retains data including "biological samples" and "the DNA obtained from such samples", as well as "genetic information derived from processing your DNA sample ... using various technologies such as genotyping and whole or partial genome sequencing". The policy also says Cignpost may share customers’ DNA samples and other personal information with "collaborators" working with them or independently, including universities and private companies, and that it "may receive compensation" in return.
