Is that a threat? Or a promise?

AFAIK it's just a toggle in the settings. It says, "consent to the use of health data for Ai training and modeling" and you just click to turn it off.

Don't tempt me with a good time.

I have a Samsung phone and I take great pleasure in ignoring the weekly reminders that I still haven't agreed to their latest privacy policy (or any previous version since the very first one which I was forced to accept while setting up the phone). Refusing to do this probably doesn't accomplish anything, but it's my own private act of rebellion while I eagerly await those new Motorola phones with first-party Graphene OS support.
Awesome. Samsung shouldn't have anyone's health data.
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.^

One just never hears anything good about Samsung anymore.
replies:
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.
replies:
Well at least they're giving people the option. Most other companies just declare they're giving themselves permission to use your data unless you opt-out (meaning if you've lost access to the account you've got no way to stop them)
If you're not paying for it, you're the product.
replies:
Why would any sane person even use this kind of feature? It's not even that useful :/.
It's the kind of thing people think they needed, when actually they dont... Who the fuck needs to know how many steps you did this afternoon? Or how "good" you slept yesterday? How many calories your ate this morning...?
I haven't seen a single good use case of this kind of tracking device, except for your insurance/bank...

Don't use Samsung health app. Problem solved.
Sounds like it's not really your data then, it's theirs.
Please do. Samsung is a tech company; why tf does it have peoples health data...
replies:
Joke's on you. I don't use your shite app anyway
Somewhat misleading. The data is only deleted from your samsung account if you refuse, but you can still keep and track it on device.
Yes, that can we worded much better but the grammar checking people and software developing people have different communication styles.
replies:
Features shouldn't come with an ultimatum over personal data.
Isn’t that a HIPPA violation?
CORP_O RANDSOMEWARE ATTACK the kicker is they will keep it and take it from you. Go ahead and complain see what happens.
