You cannot infer genetic information. You can infer traits that could be related to genetics, sure. But genetic information requires genetic testing.

If I see you are black, and say “hey this guy is black” I’m not divulging genetic information.

I literally linked you a legal definition... And you want to argue it? Are you sane?

If you're identified as "Black" and go to a Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Center regularly. You can infer that that person has it. This is easy stuff to figure out with the right data sets...

I’m actually quite confused on how you could garner any of that data from geolocation. But w/e.

Still seems a mad stretch.
