We might need to do a better job of explaining this- but this is true. You retain ownership of your data and we don't sell or use it (other than to train your specific clone that you can delete at any time). Personally, I think too many AI companies are playing fast and loose in this space, so I get the concern. We want to do it right.

I don't know what you mean by ownership, do you mean you don't store everything you need to clone my likeness?

Unless this data is never stored server side or else is client side encrypted then you are putting a target on your back for hackers to extract this data for nefarious purposes no matter what your terms of service says

If your company is on the brink of collapse and you need funding to stay afloat, will your new majority shareholder be just as trustworthy? If you make if big and the difference between a million in revenue and a billion in revenue is misusing personal data, can you resist the temptation? Those are the concerns and you're not providing answers to them.

Like it or not, 23andMe is going down this path right now with millions of customer's genetic data and you're going to get the same scrutiny when you ask people for personal, intimate data.
