Change Summary
Calm updated its privacy policy to expand health-related data processing and add comprehensive U.S. state privacy rights disclosures. The policy previously stated it did not infer health characteristics from user-provided feeling information; the updated language now permits such inference while maintaining processing limits. Additionally, Calm added detailed sections addressing privacy rights for residents of 20+ U.S. states with privacy laws, including opt-out rights for targeted advertising and data sales, and clarified that minors' data will not be used for targeted advertising or sold.
