23andMe has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S., which means your genetic data is for sale, and you only have until July 14 to file a claim. This filing will initiate the sale of all of 23andMe’s assets — including customer data. So what does this mean for you? After filing for bankruptcy protection, the company’s assets — including vast banks of DNA data — will be sold through a court-supervised sale. If you’re a 23andme customer, your data will be sold to the highest bidder.
