Oura commits to actively contesting certain government data requests rather than complying by default, with heightened attention when the requested data is sensitive.
Interpretive note: The determination of whether a request is overly broad, insufficiently supported, or legally deficient rests entirely with Oura ('that we deem'), which limits the enforceability of this commitment from a user perspective. This is a feature of the claim itself and is preserved in the canonical claim.
The updated policy explicitly discloses that Oura uses artificial intelligence and machine learning in the service, including an AI assistant called Oura Advisor that provides personalized wellness guidance based on information you submit or that Oura collects. The revised terms state that Oura may use AI and algorithmic analysis to suggest partner services and may use personal data to develop or refine AI-powered health features. The policy establishes that you retain choice about whether to engage with these AI features or share personal data with partner services when suggestions are offered.
