GDPR Request — 23andMe

23andMe's 2023 breach exposed genetic ancestry and health predisposition data for 6.9 million users. Genetic data is Article 9 special category data under GDPR — the most protected category. Following 23andMe's 2025 bankruptcy and acquisition by TTAM Research Institute, exercising your right to erasure now is particularly important to prevent your genetic data being repurposed.

This letter is pre-addressed to 23andMe, Inc., the official EU data controller for 23andMe. Fill in your details and copy or send it directly.

23andMe does not publish a direct DPO email. Use their privacy contact form or send by post to the address shown in the letter.
