# How to download your personal data from Samsung Health

> In the Samsung Health app, tap More options (the three vertical dots), then Settings, then Download personal data, then Download, allow the permissions it asks for and enter your Samsung account details. Samsung's support page says the files are then in My Files, Downloads, in a Samsung Health folder on the phone. Samsung's page does not state the file format. Erase personal data, on the same settings screen, deletes your Samsung Health data from the phone and Samsung's server, so download first.

## Samsung's steps

Samsung's US support article "Download or erase your personal data from Samsung Health" gives the download path:

1. Open the Samsung Health app, tap More options (the three vertical dots), and then tap Settings.
2. Swipe to and tap Download personal data, and then tap Download. Allow the necessary permissions.
3. When prompted, enter your Samsung account information, wait for the information to download, and then tap OK to finish.
4. To view the downloaded data, navigate to My Files, and then tap Downloads. Tap the Samsung Health folder and browse the downloaded files.

The article does not say what format the files are in or how they are organized, and this page does not guess. Open the folder and look.

## Erase is a different button

The same settings screen has Erase personal data. Samsung warns that all of your Samsung Health data stored on the phone or tablet, as well as in Samsung Health and on the Samsung Health server, will be permanently deleted, and that you won't be able to sign into your account until the deletion completes. Download first if you want a copy.

## Other routes

If Samsung Health shares data with Health Connect on your phone, Health Connect's own [scheduled export](/own-your-data/health-connect-export) is a second copy, built for restoring on another device rather than for analysis. Reading Samsung Health data from an app is a separate developer question, covered in the [Samsung Health API guide](/integrate/samsung-health-api).

### Does erasing Samsung Health personal data also delete it from Samsung's server?

### What file format does Samsung Health's personal data download use?

Samsung's support article does not say. It documents where the files land (My Files, Downloads, a Samsung Health folder) but not their format or layout, so check the folder after the download finishes rather than relying on a third-party description.
