What options do we have to delete our data? Anyone looked in detail?

[edit]

From their website:

   Data retention
   23andMe will retain some information to comply with legal 
   obligations, including your DNA, sex, and date of birth

So apparently you can permanently delete your data, except for, oh just your DNA....

[edit 2]

From NYT (https://archive.is/ynvDR)

   However, 23andMe uses a laboratory that must follow 
   regulations under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement 
   Amendments, or CLIA. This means that some data, including 
   your DNA, sex and date of birth will be retained in order 
   to comply with these regulations. The company will no 
   longer use that information, though. You can read more 
   about the company’s deletion processhere.
