Not at all. "S3" is only in the loop because that's what labs generally use. In production, when we have ongoing scale, we will not use S3 or anything like it to transfer data between labs and our infra, even if it means using sneakernet!<p>The whole point of our project is to keep people's data always under encryption so that nobody can sell the data even if they wanted to. Using MPC (and FHE) we ensure that nobody can decrypt your data without your permission.<p>You can also delete your data any time without needing any third party's permission using the latest versions of the libraries we use.<p>We are building all this go get away from the closed, exploitative model that 23andMe built. The way we are building our infra, our company could go out of business tomorrow and you'll still be able to use the protocol and have access to your data and insights.<p>Also, fun fact, genetic data from newborns is retained by the state in many industrialized countries. We need to get that data away from "trust me, bro" infrastructure to securing it using MPC and FHE.
