Summary
Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

Headspace collects sensitive health, wellness, and demographic information when you use its services and shares some of that data with advertisers, analytics partners, and—if your employer or health plan sponsors your access—your Benefit Sponsor. Your sensitive information is not used to personalize ads, but your general personal information is used to tailor Headspace ads you see on other websites and apps. Before any AI feature is activated, Headspace will tell you and give you the choice to proceed.

Analysis

Headspace's Privacy Policy establishes the conditions under which Headspace collects, uses, and shares personal information, including sensitive categories such as health and wellness data, mental and physical health status, and demographic identity attributes. The Policy defines how personal information is used for service delivery, marketing, and personalized advertising through third-party platforms, while carving out sensitive personal information from ad personalization. It governs data-sharing relationships with third-party analytics and advertising providers, Benefit Sponsors, and—under specified healthcare-related exceptions—healthcare providers and health plans. Supplemental terms and privacy notices take precedence over the main Policy where conflicts arise, and binding arbitration is available as a conditional last-resort mechanism under the EU-U.S. DPF, its UK Extension, or the Swiss-U.S. DPF frameworks. Health information Headspace collects is treated as protected health information under HIPAA where applicable.

What this means for you

As a Headspace user, your health and wellness data, including mental and physical health survey responses, is collected and treated as protected health information under HIPAA where that law applies. If your access is sponsored by an employer or health plan, Headspace may share your name, email address, registration date, and last use date with that Benefit Sponsor, and that restriction may not apply when sharing is necessary for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. Your general personal information is used to personalize Headspace ads you see on third-party websites and apps, though your sensitive personal information is not used for ad personalization. Before any AI Feature is activated, Headspace will disclose that you are interacting with AI and give you the choice of whether to proceed.

What changed Headspace updated its Privacy Policy effective September 30, 2026, expanding language accessibility by adding support for Arabic, Gujarati, Haitian Creole, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. The policy now explicitly states that language assistance services and accessible formats are available at no cost. The update also introduces new disclosure language regarding the CMS ACCESS Program, under which Headspace may share health information with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), with separate program disclosures to be provided before enrollment. Minor wording clarifications were made to California privacy rights opt-out procedures.
Why this matters The updated policy expands language accessibility by adding support for five additional languages and explicitly guarantees free language assistance and accessible formats for all users. For users enrolled in the CMS ACCESS Program, the policy now discloses that Headspace may share health information with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and that CMS may access or request health information consistent with applicable privacy and security law; separate program disclosures will be provided before enrollment. You can access language assistance services and accessible formats by emailing help@headspace.com.
