Sadly no they won't provide that, but you can get a copy as a data
file and use it with other services which allow you to upload it for
ancestry analysis.some of those services don't keep a full copy after
analysis, many of them have better data protections or at least the
ability to opt out of data sharing, and allow you to use an alias.
I'm not versed well enough in all of these ancestry-only services to
feel confident in recommending any of them, but I know there are quite
a few out there.
