AG Frey issued a consumer alert regarding 23andMe’s recent bankruptcy filing. 23andMe is a direct-to-consumer genetic testing company that collects and analyzes the most sensitive and irreplaceable information about individuals, their genetic code.

“DNA is arguably an individual’s most sensitive data. 23andMe has made assurances regarding their data privacy practices, but I would urge consumers to consider deleting their genetic data while the company is facing this instability. My office will be following the bankruptcy closely to ensure 23andMe honors its data privacy commitments.” – AG Frey
