    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.

    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.

    >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.^

      Just curiosity. How the hell is US medical system set up that it’s even possible for a company thats not in any way related to health have acess to medical history and meds?

      Like my countries medical system is fully digitized, but there isn’t even a way for a random company to acess this information.

    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.

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