Health data and your privacy If you turn it on, games are saved as workouts in Health. For this, the app asks for access to write workouts. It also asks to read workouts, to find matches recorded on your other devices, and a few statistics, like distance and average heart rate, to show them in the summary at the end of a game. These statistics aren't stored or synced outside Health.
