EFF Highlights Privacy Concerns with Fitness Trackers Amid Rising Popularity
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has raised concerns about the privacy practices of companies manufacturing fitness trackers. As the popularity of wearable health devices like watches, bands, and rings increases among Americans, the EFF points out that these companies are not doing enough to protect sensitive health data from unauthorized access. The EFF's newsletter, EFFector, discusses the intersection of technology, civil liberties, and the law, and in its latest issue, it highlights the shortcomings in data protection by fitness tracker companies. The newsletter also features insights from EFF Senior Security and Privacy Activist Thorin Klosowski, who discusses the current landscape of fitness trackers and privacy issues.
