Samsung clarifies what happens to your data if you withdraw Samsung Health AI consent
SamMobile • • technology
Key Points:
- Samsung clarified that withdrawing consent for AI training in Samsung Health does not delete existing health data stored on its servers nor disable Samsung Cloud syncing, addressing user confusion caused by unclear pop-up wording.
- The AI training data is collected separately from the health data used for Samsung Health services, and only the AI training data will be deleted if consent is withdrawn.
- Samsung confirmed through testing that Samsung Health cloud syncing continues to function normally after users withdraw AI training consent, despite earlier messages suggesting otherwise.
- The company acknowledged the original consent notice was poorly worded and is working to improve the text for clearer and more accurate communication to users.
- This clarification reassures users that declining AI training consent will not impact their ability to use Samsung Health features or sync data across devices.
