I would never have it tracked.
Is it something potential employers could access?

according to the website no
but I guess it depends how resourceful your future employer is. Can they bribe a minimum wage drone? I suspect they could.

My doc doesn't
even know about my hospitalizations for batshitness, I certainly wouldn't want it on a national database (doc has an idea, but if I confirm he's obligated to put it on my records)

Nope - it's entirely confidential.
I think that the general idea is that, over the coming decades, some participants will develop, say, Parkinsons or COPD or something like that; it'll then be possible to look at their genomes to see if there's any gene that these people have in common, thereby gaining a huge epidemiological insight.

There's nowt sinister about it.
