What it is

By wearing WHOOP and using the app, you consent to WHOOP continuously collecting sensitive health data about your body including your heart rate, sleep patterns, and physical strain.

This analysis describes what Whoop's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Biometric and physiological health data is among the most sensitive categories of personal information and, once collected, cannot be changed if misused; understanding how WHOOP uses and shares this data is critical for any user.

Interpretive note: The full scope of data use and third-party sharing is deferred to the Privacy Policy, meaning the complete disclosure framework cannot be assessed from the Terms of Use alone.
