What it is

When you post anything in the Noom app — including food logs, progress notes, or community posts — you give Noom a permanent, global, royalty-free license to use, share, and adapt that content however it wants, including with business partners.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Any health journal entries, progress photos, or community posts you submit to Noom can be used by Noom and its partners for promotion, product improvement, or other commercial purposes globally, with no obligation to notify or compensate you.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Because Noom collects health-related content, this broad IP license means your sensitive wellness data and personal journal entries could potentially be used in Noom's marketing, shared with partners, or used to train AI systems — without additional compensation or consent.

View original clause language
By submitting, posting, or displaying content on or through the Services, you grant Noom a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, and distribute such content in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed). You agree that this license includes the right for Noom to provide, promote, and improve the Services and to make content submitted to or through the Services available to other companies, organizations or individuals who partner with Noom for the syndication, broadcast, distribution or publication of such content on other media and services.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates CPRA's requirement for explicit opt-in consent for use of sensitive personal information beyond primary service delivery (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.121), to the extent user-submitted content includes health data. GDPR Art. 6 requires a lawful basis for processing; a broad contractual license may not satisfy Art. 6(1)(b) for uses beyond direct service provision, particularly where health data under Art. 9 is involved. FTC Act Section 5 applies if the scope of data use is not clearly disclosed at point of consent. Emerging EU AI Act obligations may apply if user content is used to train AI or automated decision-making systems.
