Samsung Health won't delete all of your data if you opt out of AI training after all [U]

As its new redesign rolls out, Samsung Health is also forcing users into a choice – let their data be used for AI training, or make it effectively unusable in the long term.

Update 7/15: In a statement to 9to5Google, Samsung says that it won’t delete all of your data if you opt-out of AI training. Rather, it will only delete “data collected for AI development.” In other words, it sounds like it is deleting data from Samsung’s end rather than the user’s.

Samsung says:

Samsung Health offers an optional consent to use health data for AI development. Users can withdraw this consent at any time. When consent is withdrawn, only the data collected for AI development will be deleted. Your existing health data will be retained so you can continue to use Samsung Health without interruption.
