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.

Why would Samsung have my health data ???

Smart watches.

[–] IndianaJones@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 hours ago

They have an app, called 'Samsung Health', that allows you to see/record how many steps you did, how you slept etc etc

Don't tempt me with a good time.

Right? If Apple would do that to me I’ll drop them like a hot potato

>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.^

If you're not paying for it, you're the product.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 minutes ago

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

One just never hears anything good about Samsung anymore.
