I am wary of sending my personal DNA off to some company.

Should I be worried or not? I told my fiance that it'd be fun to know more about my family history and she got me the ancestry + dna/health kit. I'd rather just type in my name and the names of my relatives to get information but this specific kit requires me to spit into something and send it to them...

Should I do it or not?

Do not do it. The results are garbage, there's been instances where legit twins do the same test and get significantly different results. Commercial DNA databases are historically insecure, and on top of that they willingly share data with governments.
