Samsung Deletes Your Health Data If You Opt Out of AI Training

Executive Briefing

  • Requires users to consent to AI training or lose all existing Samsung Health data permanently.
  • Affects millions of Galaxy Watch and Samsung smartphone users who relied on the app for years.
  • Collected data includes sensitive information such as menstrual cycles, medications, and mental wellness.
  • Opting out halts server syncing and triggers deletion, except where 'required by law.'
  • Critics call the move anti-consumer, as users had no such condition when they first adopted the service.
