A big data breach and deepening financial woes have sparked new concerns about the DNA testing company's ability to protect your personal data.

Here's how to delete your data as company shake-up leaves customers wondering what will happen to their DNA info.

Americans curious about their ancestry likely paid for a DNA test through 23andMe. But with their future unclear, what will happen to customers' data?

When you set up your 23andMe account, you’re given the option either to have your saliva sample securely destroyed or to have it stored for future testing. If you’ve previously opted to store your sample but now want to delete your 23andMe account, the company says, it will destroy the sample for you as part of the account deletion process.

Understandably, people want to delete their accounts and purge whatever data the company has on them. Unfortunately, 23andMe isn’t really going to delete all of your data. Oh, sure, you can delete your account.

Here’s how to permanently delete your DNA data from 23andMe, ensuring that your sensitive genetic information is no longer accessible.

After a large data breach in 2023, the value of 23andMe has plummeted, prompting concerns that the company -- and all its users' genetic data -- could soon be up for sale.

The implications of this sale are significant, raising concerns over data privacy and the potential misuse of sensitive genetic information.
