Genetic testing company 23andMe never hit on a sustainable business model and went bankrupt. Now, it's being sold to a non-profit launched by the co-founder, delaying addressing data privacy concerns.

If regulators and consumer privacy advocates trust 23andMe’s current practices, there is little reason to doubt those of the acquirer, provided they comply with the same obligations.

According to their email, 23andMe is required to give customers two days' notice before the sale is complete, with details on privacy commitments and how to delete their data.
