My DNA probably ended up in a German database roughly 15 years ago.
Had the German equivalent of the FBI/ State BI come to my house to collect samples and ask question about my whereabouts at a certain date and time to exclude me from a list of murder suspects.
Personally, I do not mind so much if DNA is collected by law enforcement. However, the notion that private companies could get access to those is pretty much laughable. If the privacy laws in Germany did not drastically change in the last five years, there is no way in hell any company can get access to those DB's except as a federal contractor.
