Answer:company privacy policy change, third party access, non-effective laws, database hacking

Step-by-step explanation:

Company privacy policy:company privacy policy protecting consumer information may not be strong enough, and may also change unfavourably in the future depending on certain factors.

Third party access: company may be pressurized by law enforcement/government to release genetic data for state purposes.

Non-effective laws: state laws guarding genetic information of individuals might not be broad enough as to be effective.

Database hacking: company/private database might be a victim of computer hacking.
