Tennessee Attorney General (AG) Jonathan Skrmetti is alerting customers of genetic testing company 23andMe of their rights to download their personal data from their account, delete their account and instruct the company to destroy their biological sample and not use it for research purposes following the company’s bankruptcy filing. All of these options are protected under Tennessee’s Genetic Information Privacy Act (GIPA), which went into effect in July 2023, Skrmetti said in a press release. "Our genetic information is some of our most personal data, giving insight about not just us but our families,” he said.
