"23andMe collected incredibly sensitive genetic data from millions of Americans, and their inability to protect that data irreparably harmed their business. Regardless of this bankruptcy filing, they need to honor their promises to protect consumer privacy and the security of the data they maintain. Consumers may also wish to proactively protect their own data, including deleting their genetic data, requesting the destruction of their test sample, and revoking authorization for 23andMe to share access with third-party researchers. We are watching this bankruptcy filing closely and expect to be actively engaged to ensure sensitive records are protected and 23andMe is held accountable," said Attorney General Tong.
