We have no idea what's going to happen to 23andMe's DNA data if it shuts down or gets sold, so you should consider deleting your account.

Earlier this month, all of 23andMe's independent directors resigned from the company's board. Their resignations came about a month after the well-known DNA testing company shuttered its internal drug discovery group. In light of all the chaos, some security experts have begun urging users to consider closing their 23andMe accounts.

If you want to close your account, the first step is to log in and visit your Account Settings. Scroll down to the 23andMe Data section near the bottom of the page, then click View.
