Is there a point besides snark? If one chooses to export to Apple Health, HealthKit keeps everything on device or encrypted. Even Apple can’t access the data. I stay away from all 3rd party health trackers since most don’t seem to have any commit to privacy, so this looks like a nice addition to the ecosystem.
- maxhille 3y ago> Even Apple can’t access the data. They own your device 100%. Of course they can access your data...
- BenFranklin100 3y agoTechnically yes, but their policy and business value proposition to the end user says they don’t. it would wipe hundreds of billions of dollars of their worth overnight if it were ever shown Apple was secretly, willfully selling individual’s personal health information. Follow the money.
- neilv 3y agoNot snark, but title clarification. (When I saw "Open-source, privacy oriented, outdoor fitness tracker", I thought it would be available for an open source platform, so I clicked. It being for a closed, all-your-data-are-belong-to-us platform wasn't expected. Maybe the comment saved some clicks.)
- account-5 3y agoI would imagine frustration more than snark. The "... for Apple" clarifications would have saved me clicking on this thread in anticipation of something I could use.
- Moru 3y agoSince they own the device and OS, they don't need to access your data. They have low-level access to all the sensors/gps.
- jefurii 3y agoNot snark, but I have an Android phone so it's irrelevant to me.
