Areas for Improvement
- Stronger on-device data protection: Fitness history and account information should be stored with stronger safeguards so that it remains private even if someone gains physical access to the device.
- Reduced collection of behavioral data: The level of in-app activity monitoring exceeds what is needed to deliver core fitness features, and reducing it would better respect user privacy.
- Improved protection for connected device data: Data gathered from connected hardware such as smart scales deserves the same level of care as other personal health information.
