Just a reminder that despite whatever their front page advertises, while your account will be marked as "deleted" (23andMe still retaining your email address and some other pieces of information), your genetic data won't be deleted:

> 23andMe and the contracted genotyping laboratory will retain your Genetic Information, Date of Birth, and sex as required for compliance with legal obligations, pursuant to the federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 and California laboratory regulations.

> 23andMe will retain limited information related to your data deletion request, such as your email address and Account Deletion Request Identifier, as necessary to fulfill your request and for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

And that's why I don't use 23andMe, even though I'm quite interested in the product and was super tempted to buy. Just because it's not future-proof, and that's a deal breaker.

If you know of a DNA sequencing service that can do its job, send the result, then destroy every sample and every bit of information they had (save, possibly, for the payment receipt), please let me know. Don't care about ancestry, relatives and other social stuff, just the raw genetic data.
