I was curious if the DNA results were stored, and if the results could be accessed by 'others', so I asked "23 and me". I was interested in this service as it recently received FDA approval for medical screening info from DNA. They told me the results were 'destroyed' 2 weeks, if I remember correctly, after the results were mailed out. IMHO, I would contact whatever vendor you are thinking of using and asking what if any information is stored, where, how, for how long, etc.
