I have doubt they would actually delete all customer's data upon request, which is another reason we should not submit any of personal data in first place when it's not necessary/important.
If they eventually delete the datas upon request how would they make money out of it, so they are definitely not letting anyone go just a tick to keep the panicals calm.
California’s attorney general is urging consumers to delete their genetic data from their 23andMe accounts.
I don't know if anyone here has a connection with this business but it's better to follow similar method of deleting your data from their accounts.
This is very dumb and wicked of the judge to try manipulating people to thinking that deleting their data from their accounts in anyway reliefs the company of the possession of their data. It's a lame approach to brainwash people to assumed safety of their data.
The judge isn't dumb, he just must have connections with the sales of data or 23and me has an undisclosed relationship because how do one explain such unruly advise.
FYI backups have been made even before they filed for bankruptcy and those data are safely stored in another database, so deleting it from their accounts makes no difference.
they definitely do.
