23andMe Goes Bankrupt
What happens when a new company buys 23andMe? Who knows! Better get on deleting that data. From Wired:
To delete your genetic data through 23andMe’s website, log in and then go to Settings in your profile. Scroll to 23andMe Data and then click View. At this point, you can choose to download a copy of your genetic information. Then scroll to Delete Data and click Permanently Delete Data. Once you initiate the process, you’ll receive an email from 23andMe to confirm. Click the link in the email to complete the deletion process. Additionally, you can direct 23andMe to destroy the biological sample it used to extract your DNA data if you previously authorized the company to keep it. Go to Settings and then Preferences.
I won't even give out my actual cell phone number to people. And sure, I would love to find people I'm related to. But no frickin' way I'm giving some company my DNA. Now you're in a pickle because who knows who is going to end up with this thing.
