Samsung Health users are being asked to consent to the use of their health data to train the company's AI models.
A report claims users who decline the request could lose cloud syncing and backup for their health data, with Samsung warning previously synced data may be deleted unless retention is required by law.
The policy, first highlighted by How-To Geek, has sparked criticism from privacy advocates who argue users are being forced to choose between privacy and a core app feature.
Samsung is rolling out a change to its Samsung Health app that some argue could force users to choose between protecting their personal health information and retaining one of the app's most important features.
According to a report by How-To Geek, some Samsung Health users are seeing a new prompt titled "Consent to the Use of Health Data for AI Training and Modelling." The notice asks users to allow Samsung to use a broad range of health informationincluding activity data, sleep patterns, nutrition, body measurements, medication information, medical records and menstrual cycle trackingto improve its artificial intelligence models. Some of that data may also be reviewed by humans as part of the AI training process.
The controversy isn't simply that Samsung is requesting permission to use the data. According to the report, users who refuse consent receive a warning that Samsung Health will no longer synchronize their data with their Samsung account. The notice also says that previously synchronized health data will be deleted unless Samsung is legally required to retain it.
That effectively ties cloud backup and syncinga feature many users consider essentialto participation in Samsung's AI development efforts.
Samsungs position
Samsung has published a support page explaining how the data will be used. The company says approved health information will be used for "AI training and modelling, including human review," to improve Samsung Health algorithms and AI-powered features. The categories of information include wellness data such as step counts, sleep and nutrition, medication information, health records containing diagnoses and treatments, and menstrual cycle data.
Samsung has not publicly addressed criticism that users are effectively being coerced into sharing sensitive medical information by making cloud syncing contingent on AI consent.

Federal investigators are reportedly focusing on Taco Bell as they work to identify the source of a multistate Cyclospora outbreak that has sickened thousands of people.
The Washington Post reports that some people who became ill had eaten at Taco Bell, though investigators stress the outbreak extends beyond the restaurant chain and no specific supplier has been identified.
Michigan health officials now say lettuce and salad greens are the leading suspected source, while Taco Bell has already removed several fresh ingredients from some restaurants as a precaution.
Federal and state health officials are increasingly focusing on Taco Bell as they investigate one of the nation's largest outbreaks of cyclosporiasis, a parasitic illness linked to contaminated fresh produce, according to a report by The Washington Post.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have not concluded that Taco Bell is responsible for the outbreak. Instead, investigators are examining whether restaurants in the chain may have received contaminated produce from a common supplier. Officials also caution that the outbreak clearly extends beyond Taco Bell because many people who became ill reported never eating at the restaurant.
The outbreak has sickened thousands of people in more than 30 states and has hospitalized more than 80, making it one of the largest Cyclospora outbreaks in recent U.S. history.
According to The Washington Post, federal and state investigators are reviewing interviews with patients, restaurant visits, and food purchasing records to determine whether Taco Bell locations shared contaminated ingredients with other restaurants or retailers. Some people who became ill reported eating at Taco Bell before developing symptoms, while others did not.
Lettuce emerges as leading suspect
On Monday, Michigan health officials announced that interviews with more than 1,000 patients point to lettuce or salad greens as the most likely source of the outbreak, although they emphasized that other foods have not been ruled out. Michigan has recorded the largest number of illnesses, with more than 2,600 confirmed cases.
"While the investigation is ongoing, current results point to lettuce or salad greens as a potential source for this outbreak," the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services said.
