The End User License Agreement (EULA) for AncestryDNA is scrutinized for clauses that grant the company a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license to use a customer's DNA data.

DNA Test Inaccuracies and Identical Sibling Results
Inside Edition conducted a test of commercial DNA kits from 23andMe and AncestryDNA using identical triplets and quadruplets. Despite having identical DNA, the siblings received significantly different ancestry percentages, with some showing French or Scandinavian heritage that their siblings did not. The hosts argue that these commercial tests have low confidence levels and are often "bullcrap" used to create a false sense of certainty about heritage.
The hosts discuss AncestryDNA commercials that encourage people to identify as "everything" rather than having a specific national identity. They note that Ancestry.com is owned by the Mormon Church, which they claim is building the world's largest database of human genetic and genealogical information.
