Delaware Attorney General Warns Residents on 23andMe Data Security
Delaware Attorney General Kathleen Jennings is advising residents to delete their data from 23andMe following the company’s recent bankruptcy filing, which has raised concerns about the potential sale of sensitive genetic information. Jennings emphasized the deeply personal nature of genetic profiles and urged immediate action, warning that the company may not honor deletion requests during the bankruptcy process.
Delaware’s newly enacted data privacy law strengthens consumer protections, granting residents the right to request data deletion and opt out of targeted advertising. As concerns over data security grow, Jennings’ warning highlights the importance of safeguarding personal genetic information.
