I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t think that retroactively applies to things that happened before the ToS got updated.
So 23andMe would still be open to lawsuits for the previous breach
Yes, but every other “oopsies” that will happen to your DNA Data will cost them a “We’re so Sorry”-Card and a Hershey’s Kiss per Customer. And there will be oopsies in the future. It was a way to voluntary get people to submit their DNA Data with the Bogus claim to “find out where your came from”. But the value for the medicine (read: Pharma industry) is much much bigger. My Sister submitted her DNA to them. They now know the genetic probability of illnesses of my whole Family-Tree including mine and everyone else in the Family up and down. And not only they know, but everyone who is using the “leaked” Data. Thank you Sister.
