A 'not knowingly' standard for age verification is weaker than positive verification — fitness apps are widely used by teenagers, and if minors are using the app, their health and dietary data may be collected without COPPA-required parental consent.
MyFitnessPal collects sensitive personal health data including dietary logs, body weight, exercise history, and body measurements, and the policy authorizes using and sharing this data with advertising and analytics partners, which may not align with users' expectations for a health app. Users who connect third-party wearables or apps extend the scope of data collection further, and this interconnected data sharing deserves careful attention. You can review and adjust your data sharing preferences, opt out of certain advertising uses, and submit deletion or access requests through MyFitnessPal's privacy settings or by emailing privacy@myfitnesspal.com.
