That's what I thought, I was trying to find information on their policies about metadata collection or anything like that, I didn't spend much time looking though.

But given Apple's stance and track record with privacy I'd be amazed if they violated that with health data.

Once it's in the cloud, the government (NSA) can read it on demand, encryption or not.

Edit: "No one else, not even Apple, can access end-to-end encrypted information." Strong words, and AES-128, maybe I was wrong.

They can't if the only keys to access it are on your device, unless there's a fundamental flaw in how our cryptography is supposed to work.

They compromised elliptic curves. Otherwise it depends on what Apple uses for encryption.

If that were true you would lose access to it if you lost your phone, which you don’t.
