Don’t tempt me with a good time.
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.

Awesome. Samsung shouldn’t have anyone’s health data.
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 ???
They have an app, called ‘Samsung Health’, that allows you to see/record how many steps you did, how you slept etc etc
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.
Probably they’ll keep it, they’ll just delete your access to it.
>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.
A lot of this is info from smart watches, etc.
Fair, heart rate, weight and height would be considered as medical records. But meds? How can it figure that out if i don’t specifically tell it?
It can’t. But they give you a space in the app for you to tell it.
Why would any sane person even use this kind of feature? It’s not even that useful :/.
It’s the kind of thing people think they needed, when actually they dont… Who the fuck needs to know how many steps you did this afternoon? Or how “good” you slept yesterday? How many calories your ate this morning…?
I haven’t seen a single good use case of this kind of tracking device, except for your insurance/bank…
I use a Garmin watch to track my heart rate and variability, but I have a heart condition, so yeah. I agree with everything else though. “High stress detected” yeah, no shit.
Yeah that’s a real use case, i get that! and good this kind of feature exist for people who really need it !
Otherwise I don’t really see why a healthy person would use this feature… That’s my point, now you have for every new phone this feature enable by default…
It’s like giving you earimpaired devices when you actually don’t need it :/
