Or find a European genetics laboratory that offers this service.

Even though you may not be European, the lab will need to follow the much stricter data protection policies of the EU and will probably not have a different handling for non EU customers (but ask them).

I write this as someone who has worked at one of those in the EU.

Since you are in the field, would you give some names of such labs in the EU? The quality of results when searching for "European genetics laboratory" aren't great.

But will they still retain it indefinitely on a server somewhere? If yes, it will leak eventually. Or the government will lobby to get access to it to "protect the children".

I think that they have to delete the data per your request to be GDPR compliant since no law requires keeping such date.
