Disabiling MYAIR - yankees123 - 03-09-2018
Recently myair has a new policy that they will be able to use some of the personal information they have on you when you originally signed up with them.
Does anyone know the procedure so we can opt out of this and not allow them to get to use this data?
Also wondering how many members will be opting out.
Thanks,btw myair is no comparison to the info we all get from sleepyhead.

Turn on Airplane Mode. This disables the modem.

Thanks so much Sleeprider. Followed your instructions and waiting for their reply.
RE: Disabiling MYAIR - LarryRapp - 03-09-2018
Ditto.

I will not be opting out. Personally speaking, I really couldn't care less who does and doesn't look at my sleep data. If it helps Resmed make better equipment to help me with my sleep Apnea, then I'm all for it.

It isn't just your sleep data that they will be sharing.
RE: Disabiling MYAIR - MitchS - 03-09-2018
Last Friday I followed the the procedure Sleeprider described to request my account be deleted. I received an email last Monday informing me my MyAir had been deleted per my request. As kiwii said, it isn't only sleep data they are sharing. Even if it was, once they start down that road, they will get more and more intrusive as time goes by.

When I recently changed to a different DME due to insurance company change, MyAir dropped my account asking for new information. Since I don't see much benefit in MyAir, I won't be providing them with the new info.

Oh? What else will they be sharing?
When I read the terms, what I understood was they are using our personal data (birthdate, sex, sleepdata, email) for product research and development as well as sending emails about new products if one has opted in for that. I wasn't aware that they are sharing our info with third parties...
