Thanks for that - you've caught me being a bit ambiguous. I've corrected it now.

What I was intending to say is that your HealthKit store itself is never transmitted as a whole /except/ as part of an iCloud backup. Apps can of course move individual data points around with the users permission so long as they say so in their privacy agreements.

'The recorded data is of an incredibly private and personal nature and they’re preventing HealthKit stores from being passed over any kind of network except as part of a secure iCloud backup'
