Did they really dispose any of the users data though? It appears they displayed a chart.
That graphic, it could be argued, is based on an entirely new data set.
So while individual data sets may been used at some point behind the scenes, it's not like those data sets are the ones being disposed.
- wwwwwwwwww 12y agothe issue is that they're collecting this data in the first place. I cant help but wonder how much it would cost to get the sleep records of a competitor of mine - or if it's not for sale, how much the data would be worth on the black market if their servers got hacked. I have doubts this information is being kept as securely as it should be, that's where my concern lies.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoWell, if one is willing to one-up a fellow human like that, one is a bad person. But you don't need Jawbone data to do that, there are plenty other ways. Honestly, the problem in your example isn't the data.
- forgottenpass 12y agoone is a bad person So what? Time and time again things that would make you a bad person are silently accepted as normal or even expected of a business.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoYou're correctly describing the state of the world, but my indirect point was that we should stop accepting such behaviour in business and shun people who do. It's stupid and wrong.
- dkural 12y agoThe whole point of the device & service they are selling is, they collect this data. Then you can log in and see it in the future. Distributing is a different concern. But people pay jawbone to actually collect and store it, so they can view it later.
