I don't know specifically about Ancestry and their terms of service, but many of them do sell your genetic information for "research purposes"! I can tell you this from first hand experience having worked for an advertising company that bought that data for "research" related to marketing. They stopped offering the marketing product that used DNA because it wasn't profitable yet but I'm sure they weren't the only ones who tried it and it will be something the advertising industry will do in the future. As for if its anonymized or not by the companies they may vary but it is used in ways you would not expect reading the terms of service. here is just a few example https://nypost.com/2023/02/02/i-took-a-23andme-dna-test-and-cops-linked-me-to-a-murder/ https://www.11alive.com/article/news/investigations/the-reveal/all-in-the-family-dna-investigation/85-179895c9-1b7e-4e93-8ab4-beae25a44a79
