Note that Ancestry has gone through a couple of iterations of ownership by now, including being held by an investment group. The people who now own it may be Mormon - I don’t know - but it is not officially related to the LDS.

Regarding DNA - I have no qualms about doing the genealogy DNA tests.

As noted in the article I linked above
re: #99 Anymouse 🌹

the state of Georgia is now using private genealogy databases to track down women who’ve had a miscarriage (allegedly to find illegal abortion doctors to “protect women”)

HIPPA does not apply if you give your data to a private company not related to a medical purpose. As the article notes, few people would have an issue with using such databases to track down a serial killer as was recently done in California. However in Georgia, they are now using the same to go after women under the guise of their “protection.” Additionally, the state may use commercial services for non-criminal matters while state databases cannot be used that way.
