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.

    So I can tell them to not use my data, and they’ll also delete it as a bonus?

    Now I wish I’d ever given them any health data, just so I could do this.

    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.

    >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.^

      This isn’t that. People are paying for devices with promised feature sets that have now had their terms changed.

        When I looked into it, the health related smartwatch features that were sold specifically said that they required you to use use, and agree to the terms of service (which says they can cancel the service at any time) of, their specific apps or devices and that the data provided to these services were theirs to do with as they please.

        I thought that was a terrible deal so I didn’t buy one.

        There are smartwatches that let you keep your data, but they require a lot more work to use.
