The policy states that Peloton does not collect health or medical information but acknowledges that regulatory frameworks in some jurisdictions may classify certain fitness data categories, including heart rate, pregnancy-related workouts, mood-related workouts, and meditation workouts, as health-related information.

This provision creates a material tension between Peloton's self-characterization of its data as non-health information and regulatory frameworks that may classify the identified data categories as health information, creating compliance exposure under statutes such as Washington's My Health MY Data Act and potentially HIPAA-adjacent state health data laws. The disclosure that streamed workouts are visible to public profile viewers or approved followers adds a secondary data visibility consideration.
Interpretive note: Whether specific Peloton fitness data categories constitute regulated health data under applicable state statutes depends on jurisdiction-specific legal analysis and regulatory interpretation, which varies across state frameworks.
Under this clause, fitness data categories including heart rate (when a monitor is connected), pregnancy-related workout participation, mood-related workout participation, and meditation workouts may be classified as health-related information under applicable state regulations, even though the policy characterizes Peloton's data collection as outside health or medical information. Workout streaming history is visible to other members if a profile is set to public or followers are permitted to view workout activity.
