Your genetic data holds sensitive personal information that could be misused if sold. Acting now is essential to prevent unintended use of your data.


Next Steps:

• Delete Your Data: Log into your 23andMe account, navigate to settings, and initiate the data deletion process. Expect potential delays.

• Stay Updated: Monitor the situation for any updates on 23andMe’s policies and actions by potential buyers.
