Anyone can advise how this will affect coverage? No pm from agents please. The whole thing sounds off although the faqs says that they won't affect application and policies and they won't share personal data . But won't anonymised data collected still affect how Pru plan their future polices and benefits? It's kind of scary on the potential impact this will have.

We may share Aggregate Information with third parties, which is any information that has been stripped of your Registration Information (e.g., your name and contact information) and aggregated with information of others so that you cannot reasonably be identified as an individual. This Aggregate Information is different from “Individual-level” Information.

Prenetics will never share individual level information to any third-party, even if the third party had provided the test to you. Only you have the control and the consent to allow the sharing of your individual level information. Aggregate information such as “x% of our users share a genetic trait” may be shared, however, this information cannot identify individuals.

I think you're overthinking it. This is just sort of a promotional thing that clients get to benefit from.

Sample size is probably way too little for actuaries to put to use.

It is much safer if you were to go do the DNA test yourself and then buy your plans without the insurers having these info.

Well our personal data is a treasure trove. Of course they can censor sensitive information before "using" our data, but I believe Prudential realise that they can do a lot with this information regardless.

Look at what Google, Facebook is doing... Prudential is trying to be like them lol

Well the reply is as expected. Thanks guys, all should avoid any thing that can potentially be used against you.

Quite curious about this myDNA

I understand that this is a tie up with Prudential ONLY.

Has anyone done the test, how is the interpretation?

And besides this saliva based test kit, where or who else can I get this from?

Thank you!
