Has anyone heard of or had experience with Our Future Health? I've received a letter from them with NHS branding (I thought it was an appointment letter based on the envelope), but they're actually an independent charity doing health research.
I am a bit sceptical about their data security in particular as they talk about 'de-identification' by removing things like your name and address, which isn't necessarily the same as anonymisation. They also don't give you feedback on your samples.
