The best time to get rid of your 23&Me DNA data is to have never given it to them in the first place. The second best time is now.
I’m still irritated my cousin’s kid gave her data to one of these outfits. I feel like every known blood relative should agree before allowing a drop to be analyzed. But who am I but a lowly privacy officer with decades of experience in these matters.
do they actually have a data destruction policy so delete genuinely means delete?
Let's be real, the FBI has it already. And it also sucks when someone related to you did it, bc that also puts you at risk
With a Trump admin getting rid of the ACA protections, any insurance company that buys this data would be free to act on it to deny people.
