It used to be - if you ordered and paid for a Kit for someone else, you were assured access until and unless the person repaid you.
I see no such promise in the current Terms of Service.
Have we lost that protection on new tests we order for others?
On the tests we ordered previously, as well?
Or??
I do not recall seeing any announcement in the "Announcements and New Features" Thread about that being changed.
Nor about a new Consent Form that is now being required to do any processing (see http://forums.familytreedna.com/show...11&postcount=5 )
Nor about any "Confirmation Page" that now appears when one first logs in to a new Account.
Were any of those changes announced here?
Elsewhere?
I also see no indication of a date on the Current Terms - does anyone know when they went into effect?
The prior version of the Terms of Service - currently available at https://www.familytreedna.com/legal/...rvice/05222018 included:
3rd Party Payments and Account Access
If a person consents to testing that is paid for by another party, that person is consenting to allow the other party, whether an individual or a group project, access to their results and information, even if they order and pay for additional testing later. The purchaser of a test cannot deny access to the account and raw results of the test taker. The test taker cannot deny access to the purchaser of the test without reimbursement of the purchase price.
Should the test taker no longer want to allow the purchasing individual or group to have access their account, the test taker may reimburse the purchasing individual or group the full amount of the purchase price to return sole access to that account to the test taker only. Once the test taker has provided documentation to Family Tree DNA that they have provided a full reimbursement of the purchase to the original payor, we will be able to return access to test taker alone. Please note that although a test taker may reclaim ownership of the record and DNA stored with Family Tree DNA, they cannot undo or retrieve any prior data downloads or sharing outside of Family Tree DNA.
