I received an email today about 23andMe and Human API. I clicked on the link this is what was said about the opportunity they were presenting. I wanted to get your thoughts as my initial thought is why would I want a for profit DNA company being connected to my personal health records. Perhaps I am overreacting so I thought I would ask others Your health data is about you. Get access to it. At 23andMe, we believe in giving you control over your health data. Your participation in the Health Records Project may allow you to view data from your doctors’ offices, lab results, and prescription information in one place - electronically and at no cost. Now, you have a new opportunity to engage more actively with your health and review data from multiple care providers on one dashboard. By participating in this project, your health data will automatically be shared with 23andMe and Human API, a company focused on giving individuals access to their health data and our collaborator in this project. TYIA, Gail

I haven't (yet) received an email like that. I Googled Human API, and I see they used to have access to the 23andMe API. They would have needed your login credentials to actually connect. 23andMe recently dropped support for all API connections https://reference.humanapi.co/blog/23andme-drops-api-support Is it possible that you previously allowed Human API to access your 23andMe data? You call tell if you go into your Settings and see if it's listed under Previous Apps. I show GEDmatch, Athletigen (that would be my husband, not me!) and several others.
