23andMe's Privacy Policy Is Stronger Than HIPAA

23andMe CEO Ann Wojcicki says her customers are making a conscious decision to contribute their DNA for the benefit of society. Though they are using our DNA, what's essentially our barcode for drug development, genealogy firms like 23andMe are not subject to HIPAA regulations. But Wojiski asserts her company's privacy policies are stronger than HIPAA anyway. Other federal laws about the security of our data is patchwork and incomplete according to Lisa Ikemoto.
