You can opt out of their "Human Diversity Project":

This is the link to the main Help page for DNA on ancestry which should answer all your questions:

But please make sure that you and all your relatives realise that DNA testing can uncover secrets such as not being the biological child of one or other (or both) of the people who you always thought were your parents. And that if they would rather not run the risk of finding out that kind of thing, they shouldn't take the test. There have been quite a few newspaper articles recently about people who were shocked when they got their results.
