Samsung has started showing Samsung Health users a controversial notice requiring them to consent to their data being used for AI training if they want to keep their data from being deleted.

    Sounds ok to me, it’s usually very hard to get data like that deleted. Best to not let them get it in the first place.

      They have an app, called ‘Samsung Health’, that allows you to see/record how many steps you did, how you slept etc etc

    >The company plans to grab four categories: your sleep, your medications, your medical records, and your cycle tracking details. The company also said that humans (maybe Samsung employees and third-party contractors) will be able to review some of the data collected.

    For your own sake… let them*

    ^* delete the data that is.^
