> It will be nearly impossible for interested parties (such as insurance companies) to get a hold of your personal information on the Bristle platform and use it as leverage for their pricing

How is it nearly impossible?

From what I understand, this oral "profile" is stored and then provided to the user on demand.

Isn't the general premise that overall health is causally linked to this profile? If the data was monetized differently in the future, couldn't the association between user and this oral profile possibly give insurance companies something to base pricing decisions on?

How could the report itself be anonymized? Send the user a link to a stored report devoid of any and all personally identifiable data and then destroy any and all personally identifiable data associated with the link?

How can anyone trust someone to actually do what they "promise" with their data without extremely punitive regulation?
