Er, what? Maybe I wasn't very clear; I think I was mostly agreeing with you. "Definitely something important to consider" was in reference to customers having little leverage in that relationship, something important to consider before using them for genetic testing. Suing over breaking ToS is an option (and it is done; just because they say they aim to "minimize the possibility of exposing individual-level information", which seems to offer wiggle room, doesn't mean that there aren't many interpretations of that phrase that are unconscionable and you could then sue over), however, that's not a whole lot of leverage, and there's the very real possibility that the reason your data is out is because they've gone bankrupt or are very nearly bankrupt and are either trying to recoup investor money or are in a last ditch effort to stay profitable. At that point there's not much your suit is going to do or recover, if they even disclose what they've done in the first place. |

When has someone sued over ToS for a data leak?
