This seems like a huge downside. What data is being collected? Who else gets access to this data? What will these third parties use it for? How is it secured?

A doctor can use a portal to see if it’s working and if further patient instructions are needed or to adjust airflow pressure.

Some insurance companies will take CPAPs away if they're not being worn for x hours/night at least y nights per month

How much is a CPAP without insurance? Could you buy your own to get around this? Or is it some sort of prescription only situation.

Edit: I don't mean buying one without a sleep study etc. But if my doctor were to prescribe one that needed to tell my insurance my sleeping patterns or get taken back, could I just pay full price for a model I'd actually own?

It's about $1000. I bought a second one (without insurance) so I have one while traveling and insurance only covers a single device / person.

If insurance companies are accessing this data are they selling it too?

I doubt they're selling the records directly, but if they use that data to learn things about you (your hours awake/asleep for example) they could sell that.
