If you go in digital wellbeing and go to its settings(the dots), you'll see customization service. I want to know whether you can disable it one you give access to it. I couldn't find the actual privacy setting it gives you the link to(if aren't using customization service and then select it, it shows personalize your apps as option. Above it you'll get the link,  click on it and it will take you to a page which I can't find anywhere in the setting)

The underlined privacy settings is the link

It will show you advertisments based on your mobile phone usage.
.
It might read how often you use which app, your browser history, your call logs, your location, etc. And based on those data it will determine which advertisment will be appropriate for you and will push advertisement to your device in some places on the app or as Notifications.

I recommend don't do it. But if you want to see ads then you may click on Agree

I don't want the ads that's why I was asking about where to find this menu. Afterall samsung has never been very upfront about what they do with the users data

Obviously I wasn't going to select any options without actually knowing whether I can disable it
Although I can see why my previous comment might have left that impression

There is no "central" privacy settings for this "Customization Service".
.
There is this "Customization Service" in almost all Samsung's app. So when when open an app for the first time you should be aware to disable then.
.
And when starting the New Samsung Device also, there comes an option similar to this. You need to be very careful and do not click Next Next and finish setup. It may show ads after few days on the UI (and not on app)

Yeah the setup part is very deceptive
Sometimes these bad options are hidden (user won't notice)
I tell remember taking a full hour to setup my phone
I combed through every single menu for sneaky options

to disable analysis usage data for welbeing app...
tap on three dot icon.
choose option deny acess.
and turn off.

this will also save some battery.
and u cant disbale it.

and the ads u r talking of..... dsnt mean that by turning on/off ads wont come. it means that by turning on the ads will be of our interest and nothing else. and by turning of ads will be irrelevant to us...
and nothing else.Screenshot_20220305-100645_Digital Wellbeing.jpgScreenshot_20220305-100703_Settings.jpgScreenshot_20220305-100656_Digital Wellbeing.jpg
