I am looking for a good fitness tracker to start doing cardio in a more measured way.
I was interested in Polar and Oura as EU alternatives (both Finnish companies), but both send data (health data, which is sensitive according to Article 9 of the GDPR) to AWS.
Are you aware of any EU solutions, or at least non-US, Chinese, Russian, or Israeli solutions, that do not send my data to companies in those countries?
I would like to be able to organize something self-hosted, but I don’t think I’m capable of doing that yet.
Yes. Then what? What’s the use case?
Well they can get lods of information that can give them answers to their questions about you even if it is not admissible in court it could lead to more surveillance. You are probably doing something illegal at some point so you can be targeted too
Quick example, tracking if you were at a protest.
Whatever your stance on Palestine/Iran, it’s scary that a perfectly peaceful protest is resulting in arrests. And your location data like a fitness tracker pins you to that protest.
