With 23andMe filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and considering a sale, Oregon’s Attorney General Dan Rayfield advises residents to leverage the state’s privacy laws to delete their genetic data. Oregonians can log into their 23andMe accounts, navigate to settings, and choose to permanently delete their data. Additionally, they can revoke consent for data sharing with researchers and request the destruction of any test samples. These actions align with the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, which grants consumers rights to manage their personal data. — news from OregonLive
