“California has robust privacy laws that allow consumers to take control and request that a company delete their genetic data,” said Attorney General Bonta. “Given 23andMe’s reported financial distress, I remind Californians to consider invoking their rights and directing 23andMe to delete their data and destroy any samples of genetic material held by the company.” 

The press release from Bonta’s office  includes a step-by-step guide to help users get rid of their data.

In 2023, a hacker breached 23andMe and obtained users’ data, as Townhall covered.
