Thank you for the info. I’m intrigued and considering doing it. As long as they don’t keep/sell my data.. or at least anonymise it

I understand your concerns, because I also had them. When I got my genome sequenced, I assumed that my data could one day be hacked and distributed like any other kind of data, so I tried to provide as little information as possible. In my case, I need it, so it's a no-brainer, but yeah, the concerns are legitimate. If you suffer from some condition, you might be able to ask your doctor to sequence you.
