  • I take the (you may call it Stoic) decision not to think about what I cannot affect. 23andMe is not a good company, it is tied to Google etc. and they are sloppy with security. I am not even trying to justify myself not taking my data away from there earlier, that is my fault, and I have been stupid and lazy.

    That said, their Privacy Statement is quite clear about what should happen and none of the exception listed there apply, also because genetic data is anyway Art. 9 data.

    I will act at the best of my possibilities and not concern myself more than needed with how bad of an actor anyone may be in the US (it is a bit overwhelming as an exercise, especially nowadays).

  • What I meant is that "this Privacy Statement will apply to your Personal Information as transferred to the new entity", so by itself the sale of assets is not a reason to exclude any data from anything stated there.

    I am deleting my account as soon as I get transferred all the data, but what happens when I request the deletion is still valid whether or not they sold the assets.

    And genetic data of any kind is absolutely covered by GDPR: https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-34/

  • Oh well, Augustus was probably bisexual as well, rumored to be a bottom (which was the only thing Romans kind of picked up on) and he was well-known for his serial adultery, although I guess Markie would see this as something cool, while Augustus actually wrote laws against this behavior himself.

  • A merger or liquidation is not a valid purpose to store personal, and especially Art. 9, data, as covered by the legal basis of legal obligations, according to GDPR. So, if you are in Europe, they would have to delete it.

  • I just passed by the settings page and requested all my data. When I receive it, I will delete the account which, according to their full privacy statement, requires them to discard my sample, delete my data AND opt me out of 23andMe Research.

  • What I could easily see happening is that if that particular subset of users is demonstrated to be high spending, or if the AI wrapper products that appeal to them are going to prove to be, then this result, no matter the direction of the correlation, is going to be disregarded.

  • That's when we come onto the scene.

    I am continuously "translating" news and opinions from here on LinkedIn. Already got banned from a professional Slack that contains most people in my industry for saying in a private conversation that I like watermelon.

    Not gonna stop. People are not politically inclined because we kept our knowledge to ourselves for too long.
