Only problem I had with ancestry is that they sold me to a mailing list or people are mining it somehow for physical mailings. So far two separate religious organizations that my wife would have ancestry with based in their DNA tests started hard campaigning her to join the Quaker church. According to ancestry.com she was a direct descendant of some big shot in the church. I'm convinced their selling groups DNA profiles of some sort or allowing them to target them in marketing campaigns.
