According to a report from Android Authority on July 13, 2026, Samsung has updated its terms of service for the Samsung Health app, indicating that users who do not consent to their health data being used for AI training may lose access to their data. The policy change has sparked debate over data privacy and user consent.
The new terms state that if users opt out of data collection for AI model training, Samsung reserves the right to delete or restrict access to certain health data. This move is part of Samsung's broader push to enhance its AI capabilities, but critics argue it pressures users into sharing sensitive information.
As of now, Samsung has not provided a detailed explanation of how the data will be used or what safeguards are in place. The company has faced similar scrutiny in the past over data privacy practices. Users are advised to review the updated terms carefully before consenting.
