Summary

This document establishes Noom's data collection, use, and sharing practices for personal health information including weight, food logs, exercise habits, and behavioral patterns. The policy authorizes Noom to share collected health data with third-party advertising partners and analytics providers. Users in California, the EU, and the UK are granted rights to request data access, deletion, and opt-out of certain data uses by contacting privacy@noom.com.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is Noom's privacy policy governing the collection, use, and sharing of personal data when users interact with Noom's weight management and behavior change services, operating primarily under a notice-and-consent framework with additional state-specific rights sections. The policy states that Noom collects a broad range of personal information including health and fitness data (weight, food logs, exercise habits), precise geolocation, payment information, and behavioral data, and the terms authorize use of this data for product improvement, personalization, advertising, and sharing with third-party partners including advertising networks and analytics providers. Notably, the policy discloses sharing of health-related information with third parties for advertising and business purposes, which represents a sensitive data practice given the nature of the service; the agreement asserts broad consent to this sharing, though applicable law in certain jurisdictions (particularly California under CPRA and sensitive data provisions) may impose additional restrictions or opt-in requirements that the document's framing does not fully foreground. The policy engages CCPA/CPRA for California residents, GDPR and UK GDPR for EU and UK users, and potentially HIPAA where Noom acts in a covered-entity-adjacent capacity, though the document explicitly states Noom is not a HIPAA-covered entity; FTC Act unfair and deceptive practices standards also apply given Noom's prior regulatory history. Compliance teams should note the intersection of sensitive health data processing, broad third-party sharing authorizations, and the patchwork of US state privacy laws that may each impose distinct consent and opt-out obligations.

What changed Noom updated its privacy policy on April 19, 2026 to add clearer introductory language and summaries explaining what data it collects, how it uses that data, and how it shares information. The policy now includes plain-language summaries at the start of each major section, such as a statement that Noom collects personal, technical, and health information, uses it to run services and personalize experiences, and shares it with service providers and partners. The substantive policy sections remain substantively similar, but the new formatting makes the policy more accessible to non-lawyers reading it for the first time.
Why this matters Noom's policy now leads with a clearer summary explaining that it collects personal, technical, and health information; uses it to personalize services and run the platform; and shares it with service providers and partners for business operations and payments. The updated policy makes these practices more transparent and easier for users to understand before reading the full terms. The core data practices described appear unchanged, but are now presented more accessibly.

What changed Noom updated its privacy policy on April 3, 2026 to add a summary section at the beginning explaining what data it collects, how it uses that data, and what choices users have. The policy now explicitly states it collects personal, technical, and health information from multiple sources and uses it to personalize services, run the business, and show marketing or ads. The changes make the policy structure more transparent by adding summary sections before detailed explanations, but do not appear to introduce new data collection or usage practices.
Why this matters Noom's updated privacy policy adds transparency by explicitly stating upfront that it collects personal, technical, and health information and uses it for personalization, marketing, and advertising. The policy does not appear to introduce new data collection or usage rights beyond what may have been disclosed in more detailed sections previously. The main practical change is improved clarity about what data categories Noom processes and for what purposes, though the underlying data practices themselves do not appear to have fundamentally changed based on the provided diff.
