Where does apple store health data is it on your own icloud or on apples icloud?

Where does apple store health data is it on your own iCloud or on apples iCloud? If I erase my iCloud will the health data get erased? Or is it made the same way as Garmin or Fitbit - saved on their own servers?


Thank you

You might find the answer in Manage Health data on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch - Apple Support


Refer also to the section called How Health handles data from multiple sources.


Your iCloud space is yours to use exclusively, is accessible only to you with your Apple ID, and you rent this space from Apple with your iCloud plan.

Health information is stored in iCloud and gets encrypted as it goes between iCloud and your device, and while it's stored in iCloud. End-to-end encryption requires iOS 12 or later and two-factor authentication. To stop storing your Health data in iCloud, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud and turn off Health.

So do I run a chance of losing my health data if I clear out my iCloud? The reason I am asking the question is because I would hate to lose my health data if I cleared my iCloud by mistake, companies like fitbit or garmin store your data on their own servers and you have an option to delete the data, but it is not stored on the storage which is given to you for your use.
