The data in mental health apps is particularly sensitive.
Happify™ reserves the right to change or update this Privacy Policy at any time by posting a notice on the Site that we are changing our Privacy Policy…You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner and we will only use your information in this different manner where you opt-in to such use.
One app I looked at, Happify, specifically says in its policy that users will be able to choose if they want the new uses of the data in any new privacy policy to apply to their information. They’re able to opt out if they don’t want to be pulled into the new policy. BetterHelp, on the other hand, says that the only recourse if someone doesn’t like the new policy is to stop using the platform entirely.
The policy, then, only applies right now. It might not apply in the future, after you’ve already been using the service and giving it information about your mental health. “So, you could argue they’re completely useless,” says John Torous, a digital health researcher in the department of psychiatry at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.And data could be specifically why one company buys another in the first place.
