AG Clark issued a consumer alert to help Vermonters protect their personal data in the wake of 23andMe’s bankruptcy recent filing. Vermonters can demand that 23andMe delete their data, destroy any test samples they provided to the company, and revoke permissions for the use of their genetic data using the steps in the alert.

I urge all Vermonters to take these steps immediately to protect their personal data. This latest development is yet another reminder of how underprotected our sensitive data is without a comprehensive data privacy law.”- AG Clark
