How we read it: Resolved from UNCLEAR on 10 September 2026. The privacy policy is unchanged and still silent; the answer is in the AI Transparency Statement for Garmin Active Intelligence, dated 27 March 2025, which describes one model's training set in the past tense: web documents, code, mathematics, and a small sample of fitness data from people who opted in to product improvement. Graded opt-in because that is where the statement says the fitness data came from. Medium confidence because what was done is not a commitment about what will be, the statement covers one feature, and the opt-in is named only as product improvement, not located in a setting. Nothing on human review or de-identification.

How to opt out of Garmin AI training
Plan by plan, from what Garmin's own policy says about refusing. Where it publishes the steps, they're listed here with the limits they carry. Where there's nothing to switch off, or nothing graded, this says so instead of inventing a menu path.
All accounts
Nothing to switch off: training here is off until an opt-in is given.
What this policy has done since we started watching
No change detected. We've held a copy of Garmin's documents since 30 Aug 2026 and re-read them since, across 4 captures of 2 documents. The text hasn't moved in a way that touches this verdict. That's a fact about the documents, and it's only knowable by having kept the earlier copies.
Vendor response
We haven't yet written to Garmin about this verdict, and they haven't disputed, clarified or announced a change to any clause quoted above. When either happens it's published here, word for word.

Garmin is graded B, and a company that's earned that can say so with the verdict itself. The image below links back to this page and shows the live grade. If the grade changes, the badge changes the same day, wherever it's embedded. It's free and it isn't for sale.
