The Federal Trade Commission has alleged that genetic testing firm 1Health.io, also known as Vitagene, deceived people when it said it would dispose of their physical DNA sample as well as their collected health data. To make matters worse, the FTC also alleged in a consent order made public last week that the company didn’t secure the information properly, and further, that it changed its privacy policy retroactively without properly notifying or getting consent from people whose data the company had already collected – people who had signed a different, earlier version of the policy.
