Band2 and Privacy

[vEEP pEEP]

How secure is the Band2 - is data encrypted? ID privacy (what is that?)

Some fitness trackers vulnerable to monitoring, U of T study finds - Technology & Science - CBC News

Anyhow, I love my Band2.... I hope it keeps my secrets....

What information are you concerned will get out via your Band 2, your step count?

I certainly wouldn't want my step count to get out! :winktongue:

Hint: it's pitifully low; I work in an office.

My biggest concern is that something will ID my Bluetooth connection and use it to track me. Short of turning off Bluetooth, I don't know as there's any protection against that.

Reading that report, I'm disappointed that Band didn't rank being included in 8 "popular models".

Ha ha nice!
Good point. Who knows what people would do with the data?
