Oops, accidentally deleted my DNA instead and now I’m melting.
I have an extra chromosome. Do you want it?
I’m down
I see what you did there.
In the best case they’ll just flag it as deleted, yet keep the data
yeah, right.
The only way to win is to not play…
I requested a download and am waiting for that to be available before deleting it from 23AndMe.
I’ll be sure to tell the family members I don’t talk to anymore about this…ug.
It asks for your birthday to delete/access your data, but I used a fake one when I signed up…
Giving them your genetic data was fine, but your birthday was too much?
I tried to hide my identity as much as possible when I made the account. This included using a pseudo-random email address, fake name, fake address, and (unfortunately) fake birthday, as all of those things could be used as foreign keys to try to match my identity
You have to keep track of your fake identity next time
The real DNA negates a lot of that unfortunately. If any family member also used the service they can use that to triangulate your identity.
Let this be a lesson to write down any fake data you enter into accounts.
My keepass entries maintain all the fake form into for each account, makes it possible to move forward in instances just like this.
