Once a person has their own DNA how do they analyze it to find known attributes like genetic dysfunctions, diseases and other characteristics without sharing said DNA with a third party?

nanopore sequencing: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9966803/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanopore_sequencing https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.langmuir.4c04961 BTW this tech can be used for more than sequencing, if you can arbitrarily pushmepullya the strand back and forth through the pore, or join the strand ends and cycle a hoop through the pore you can read, snip, splice, and continue, until you have a customized strand.
