Fusion42 · 16 September 2026 · Fusion42 review

The FTC has rescinded its 2021 Policy Statement on breaches by health apps and connected devices, deeming it obsolete due to 2024 amendments explicitly addressing health app data breaches and unauthorized disclosures.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Digital Health.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Health app makers must update their compliance frameworks to align with FTC's 2024 rule amendments as the previous 2021 guidance no longer applies. You face fresh interpretive clarity but also new scrutiny on unauthorized data disclosures.
