Fitbit and privacy
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but I'm too frugal to get a Fitbit or other similar device. I only have a Crane heart rate monitor. They keep talking on my local news station about the Fitbit being a concern for privacy. Anyone with a Fitbit concerned? Just curious.
Here is one article. http://www.theguardian.com/technolog...ter-technology |

ETA: On Fitbit's website, it says that you can set privacy settings to limit what people can see. I had no idea that Fitbit included a Facebook-type aspect. |

The only thing anyone but me (and probably the Fitbit Admins) can see is my steps for the day. I don't share anything else. I was speaking that if the data leaked, I don't care whether or not some company knows my height and weight.
