When your WHOOP membership ends, WHOOP stops recording: “Once your membership has ended, WHOOP will no longer collect, upload, or analyze your biometric data.” Whether you can still see your history depends on which WHOOP document you read. The help centre says yes; the Terms of Use say your content is no longer available through the service, but you can ask for a copy. Export your data before the membership ends.
WHOOP’s pages checked: 22 October 2026. This page is general information, not legal advice.
There is no free tier
WHOOP’s Terms of Use say “You must have an active Membership in place to use the Services”. After you cancel, you keep the membership until the end of the term you paid for, with no refund for the rest of it. If you pay monthly and are still within a 12-month commitment, you either pay off the remaining months or schedule the cancellation for the end of the commitment (WHOOP Support).
If a payment fails, the account goes into an inactive state three days later and you “will be unable to upload data from your WHOOP Device”. On access to older data, the Terms of 3 August 2026 say “You may, however, still be able to access any historical data”. The January 2024 version said “You will, however, still be able to access” (WHOOP Terms, 2024 and 2026).
Can you still see your past data?
WHOOP’s own documents say different things:
- The help centre (article dated 22 October 2026) answers “Can I still see my past data after canceling?” with “Yes, you will be able to view your past data, but new data will not be recorded after cancellation.”
- The Terms of Use (3 August 2026): when the membership ends, your content “will no longer be available to you through the Services but you can request a copy of your data collected by the Whoop Device”. When the agreement ends, WHOOP “may delete Your Content associated therewith from our live databases”, and it “has no obligation to store any of Your Content.”
WHOOP states no period for how long it keeps a cancelled member’s data. Its privacy policy keeps personal data “for as long as reasonably necessary” for its purposes or as the law requires. The help centre also says that “if you resume within 90 days, WHOOP will retain your data and avoid a recalibration period”, after which your baseline Baseline Your own usual HRV level and range, built from weeks of readings taken the same way. Comparing a reading with your baseline says more than comparing it with other people. More about Baseline is reset; it does not say what happens to your history after 90 days.
With two documents pointing different ways, the safe course is to treat the end of the membership as the last day you can be sure of reaching your data.
Export before the membership ends
In the WHOOP app, tap the More icon in the navigation bar, then Data Export (on iPhone, App Settings first). Confirm your e-mail address and select Create Export. WHOOP sends a download link “within 24 hours”, and “Export links expire after 7 days” (WHOOP Support).
You get several CSV files: Physiological Cycles, Sleeps, Workouts and Journal Entries. Physiological Cycles holds Recovery, resting heart rate Resting heart rate How many times your heart beats per minute while you are fully at rest. For adults it is usually 60 to 100 beats per minute, and lower in well-trained athletes. More about Resting heart rate , HRV, strain, sleep times and more, one row per cycle, which runs from one sleep to the next. That is one HRV value per night, not beat-to-beat data. WHOOP does not say whether the export still works after the membership ends.
Do not count on Apple Health as a backup: “WHOOP does not export HRV data to Apple Health at this time”, because Apple uses SDNN SDNN The standard deviation of all NN intervals in a recording, in milliseconds. It measures overall variability, and its value depends strongly on how long the recording lasts. More about SDNN and WHOOP calculates RMSSD RMSSD Root mean square of successive differences: an HRV metric built from how much each heartbeat interval differs from the next, in milliseconds. It mainly reflects vagal activity. More about RMSSD (WHOOP Support, Apple Health). How to export your HRV data covers what you can do with the files.
Ask for a copy
You can ask for your data at any time, during the membership or after it:
- Where: the “Data Management” feature of the WHOOP Privacy Center at privacy.whoop.com, or privacy@whoop.com. WHOOP asks you to complete a verification form. In the EU and the UK you can also write to its representatives at whoop@gdpr-rep.com (WHOOP Privacy Policy).
- What to ask for: the CSV export holds one row per cycle, while WHOOP says it “captures data 24/7” (WHOOP Support, accuracy). Under the GDPR, a copy should contain all the personal data WHOOP processes, so name the heart-rate data you see in the app, the date range and a machine-readable format; WHOOP’s policy says you can ask for “a copy of your Personal Data in a machine-readable format”. Wearable data rights explains the argument and its limits.
- When: WHOOP sets no deadline of its own; even when it declines a request, it says it will tell you “in accordance with the timescales under such laws”. Under the GDPR and the UK GDPR that is one month, extendable by two more where necessary because of the complexity or number of requests (GDPR Article 12). WHOOP’s US section says it has to answer requests to know only twice in 12 months.
A bar chart of response deadlines in calendar days, one bar per place, from 0 to 90 days. EU and EEA (GDPR): 1 month, up to 3 where necessary for complex or numerous requests. United Kingdom (UK GDPR): 1 month, up to 3 where necessary for complex or numerous requests. California (CCPA): 45 days, up to 90 when reasonably necessary, with notice. Brazil (LGPD): 15 days for the complete declaration. South Korea (PIPA): 10 days; may be postponed with a stated reason. Russia (152-FZ): 10 working days, up to 15 with a reasoned notice. Japan (APPI): “Without delay”: no number of days.
The data request letter builder puts these points into a letter you can send. If WHOOP does not answer in time, send a reminder with the date of your first request; after that, the complaint routes depend on where you live, as wearable data rights explains.
