Who REALLY knows what that legal term means though ?
If I don’t give Facebook permission to access my photo gallery on my mobi I can’t upload that pic of my cat playing with a ball of wool…
Does Zucc sit in his office scrolling through my pics after midnight ? Hopefully not but 🤷🏼♂️
I use Apple, I believe it’s less intrusive than Google, you’ve declared a dislike of Apple and that’s up to you.
At the end of the day, you can buy a range of watches and via an app record heart rate data essentially free of charge.
I obviously don’t know (but who does ?) some of whatever data they do “take” will be to purely enhance the diagnostic software, which is a good thing.
Are you really giving up anything intrinsically personal or identifiable ?
Again only you can answer that.
As an aside, I’ve read that some of the watches and more importantly their background software are in fact excellent at detecting and alerting to abnormal heart rate issues.
I myself wear a Garmin Forerunner watch that’s a few years old, so not the latest/greatest but last year it alerted me that my heart rate was too high after a run.
I felt ok, did a quick google into the alert and it was a generic alert that “my heart rate was above 100bpm 10 minutes after stopping exercise” or somesuch. The rate/time trigger point can be customised aparently but it hasn’t happened again.
I hope you get to the bottom of your health issues.
