But it also includes a less prominently displayed qualifier: “If you do not give consent…we may still use your Genetic and/or Self-Reported Information for R&D purposes.” This “may include disclosure of Aggregated Genetic and Self-Reported Information to third-party non-profit and/or commercial research partners who will not publish that information in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.”
诚然，23andMe隐私协议规定它“只使用自己同意的用户遗传和自我报告的信息。”但它还加上了不太起眼的限定语：“如果你不同意……我们仍将使用你的遗传和/或自我报告信息用于研发目的。”这“可能包括将汇总的遗传和自我报告信息向第三方非盈利和/或商业研究伙伴披露，但这些信息不会发表在同行评议的科学期刊上。”
