These can be other apps on your smartphone, computer, smartwatch, smart TV, Meta Quest (VR Headset from Meta/Facebook), ect. This gets even more exact if the providers connect data parts from different pools. many more information like your interests and such.With this, they know who knows who and can even guess relationships between people. (probably) the whole contact list → with the phone numbers companies like Google or Facebook can easily see who else has an app with one of their trackers installed (pretty much everyone).exact position, down to the building → home and work addresses are easy to guess, because you are mostly there.Even only the watch provider has at least this data about you from the smartwatch: Luckily for your app provider and the data krakens, your data is worth way more, the more detailed it is.
That might be for advertisements or whatever reason - even illegal ones. But most buyer want to know YOU for their own purposes. There are some scientists interested in this data, too but they normally don´t care about your name or exact address. If you don´t accept, then you can´t use this app or even the watch you already bought.Ĥ.) Now they start selling your data to whoever wants it. Of course this is only possible with an online account from this app/watch provider.Ģ.) For your (it´s own) convenience the provider will save all your tracks and personal information on his server, so you (theirselve) always have that data available, no matter where you are.ģ.) Since the app doesn´t cost anything (or even if it cost money), the provider will ask you in his general terms if he is allowed to use your data internally and “with bussiness partners”. It´s calculating your burned calories with information about your heart beat rate from your smartwatch and from the gender, age and weigth and more information you wrote in the formular, when you started this app. It´s tracking your walking and cycling and whatever sport you do and, of course, always your exact position. You know these “free” fitness apps for smartphones and watches?
It´s more about “what can happen if some part of my information gets into the internet”. How would privacy have prevented this public Facebook post being noticed by necessarily overzealous US military police?
