23andMe updated its Privacy Statement on July 9, 2026 to change a single domain reference in the scope clause. The previous version specified that the privacy statement applies to www.23andme.com; the updated version now specifies www.23andme.org. This operational change narrows the explicitly named domain covered by the stated privacy statement, potentially affecting how users understand which web properties are governed by the policy's protections.
