alt Hacker NewsSounds like the crappiest data source for AI training yet.
But in all seriousness, of course they can access the data. Otherwise who else would process it to give any health results back? I don't think encryption in transit is relevant to privacy concerns because the concerns are about such data being tied to you at all, in any way. At the same time, yes, this could product valuable health information.
Their better bet would be to allow full anonymity, so even if there is a leak (yeah, the puns write themselves), there is never a connection between this data and your person.

It's "of course" for very knowledgeable people, normal people just assume that it means guaranteed privacy

You could have a classifier running on-device that sends summary data (rather than raw images) back to Kohler.
