3 Leaders of the House of Representatives on Energy and Commerce said that 23andme’s bankruptcy is investigating how the bankruptcy can affect customer data.
Brett Guthrie, GUS Bilirakis and Gary Palmer CEOs sent a letter to Joe Selsavage, a temporary CEO of Genetic Test Company.
The letter also reports that some customers have problems in deleting data from the 23andme website, and direct consumers such as 23andme are generally not applied by the protection of health insurance portable and responsibility (HIPAA).
“We are concerned that there is a risk of containing the initial initials of this sensitive information that requires company or customer data and information, considering the uncertainty of the patchwork of the state law, which deals with HIPAA protection, gene privacy, and customer information.
Last year, 23andme, who resolved $ 30 million in data violations, applied for bankruptcy in March, and co -founder and CEO, Anne Wojciki, resigned to become a private bidder.
