The California AG is reminding customers of the genetic testing company 23andMe that they are on the verge bankruptcy and California residents in particular might want to think about deleting their account and/or data.

Once bankruptcy proceedings start unclear where one's personal data might wind up and/or what will be done with it.
 

This was recommended months ago. They’ll be selling your/my info. Who ever reads the small print? Very few of us.
 
I doubt deleting your data will do any good. I have a Yahoo email acct. from the 1990s that I deleted. With a few clicks, I can re-activate it- ( I've done it) -computers don't forget. What happens, when all the data 23 & Me has amassed, is now up for the highest bidder? And new owner can do whatever he wants with his "property".
