This document is a step-by-step guide on how to request your health data from Huawei.
You can request your data in 2 ways:
Method A: This is the preferred method to request your data. This method requests your data via the Huawei Privacy Center website.
You can perform the steps from your computer. Due to the nature of the process requiring multiple login and verification steps, this will be the most comfortable way to request your data.
Method B: You can also request your data from the Huawei Health app. However, as stated, due to the nature of the process with repeated inputs of credentials and verification codes, it might be a bit more cumbersome to do it from your phone.
To request your data, you will need a Huawei ID account. Normally, you created your Huawei ID account when you started using the Huawei Health app, or when you started using your Huawei or Honor phone if you have one.
Method A - Request your data using the Huawei Privacy Center website.
