What it is

Noom collects very personal health details including your weight, what you eat, how much you exercise, your sleep patterns, and any health conditions or medications you voluntarily enter into the app.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your weight, food logs, health conditions, and medications entered into Noom are collected and may be used for advertising and analytics, exposing highly sensitive personal health information to third parties beyond the core wellness service.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Email privacy@noom.com with the subject 'Data Deletion Request' and include your account email address. Request deletion of all health data associated with your account.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Health data is among the most sensitive personal information you can share — it can affect insurance eligibility, employment, and personal privacy — and Noom retains and processes this data for purposes that include advertising.
