Ask for Your Sample to Be Destroyed
Deleting your digital data is a good start, but there may still be a physical DNA sample stored by 23andMe. If you sent in a saliva kit, your sample may still be in storage.
23andMe stores samples for future testing and quality control unless users request destruction. To complete your deletion process, send a request through their help center.
Include your name, account email, and a message requesting physical sample destruction. You should also receive a confirmation once the process is completed.
This step ensures that your biological material is not used for future research or analysis without your knowledge.
