I thought they kept the data after reading this DOJ policy (2019) in AT's declarationWhatever the FBI has, it has. The point of the State's response is that the State does not have the FBI notes or records. The FBI doesn't give out its notes or records. The PD can ask a Federal Judge to subpoena those records (my bet is that no judge will do this). So no one has those records.
Results from a third party service doing genetic genealogy aren't going to be searchable by any regular search engine - only within the portal of that entity. Perhaps they do not allow saving/downloading the personal information of their thousands of clients.
It would be like using a digital phone book that the phone copy made read-only. Or something.
IMO.
It isn't clear to me what data they mean though. JMO
