I do not understand the purpose of this alert. There are no explicit warnings, just a premonition. The alert merely says what all users should know that their genetic and survey data can be deleted if they request it to be deleted.
That obligation to delete user data is persistent and will apply to any buyer of 23andMe. Or am I wrong?
What is the AG of California intimating that the data is now at risk of being released into the wild or worse? That is how some will respond to this alert.
What many customers may not know is that they can also download these valuable genotype data and store locally if they wish. Using these data is not easy, but it is possible with a but of research and help.
Those who have used 23andMe should and can expect the security of their data to be maintained by the company, and that obligation would apply to any purchaser.
