What law requires them to keep genetic information?

I don't know. I do know that I used their process to delete my data (and account), and they claimed they complied. Whether or not they did, I have no way to know.
I wonder, though, if what they're talking about is that they have to keep the data as long as you have an account with them. The fact that you can't delete your data and keep your account hints that may be the case.
I'm quite concerned about 23andme. I deleted my account a year ago, but deep in their privacy statements they say they must retain data due to regulatory obligations. I've exchanged multiple emails with them asking what it means. I'll post their response below. Am I / are we... up a creek with no recourse?
