MyHeritage DNA Data Privacy Violation
MyHeritage
MyHeritage allegedly shared users' DNA-testing and ancestry activity (results pages, ethnicity results, match data, last names, IP addresses) with Google via tracking technology on MyHeritage.com without required consent. Users who purchased a MyHeritage DNA kit or used its DNA services may join individual arbitration.
state_restriction (AK/CA/IL/OR) comes from the page's structured ApplicableState field, which is the same list used to gate the site's own eligibility filter. The Case FAQ prose text additionally names Washington as eligible -- a discrepancy in the source itself, not a transcription choice here. Flagged, not resolved: confirm before promoting Washington-based claimants.
