AG Rayfield 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.

“23andMe must work to safeguard this incredibly sensitive genetic information, regardless of their bankruptcy filing. Oregonians need to know that they still have full control over their own data – they can delete their genetic information and test samples on the website and pull the plug on any permission for 23andMe to share it with researchers.” – AG Rayfield
