Typically there is no risk to your data from being on beta software. Some bugs may exist in the software, such as improper formatting, or functions that do not work perfectly, but your activities and daily data should still track normally. There is always some additional risk with beta software though, so only participate if you are willing to accept a slightly heightened amount of risk.
