Fitness data reveals health conditions, sleep patterns, stress levels, and location history. Most apps share aggregated or direct data with advertising partners.
Even after account deletion, most platforms retain your health data for "legitimate business purposes" or regulatory compliance - sometimes indefinitely.
Premium features often lock historical data behind paywalls. Cancel your subscription? Your progress history may become inaccessible.
Connected apps and devices create complex data sharing chains. Your fitness data may flow to dozens of companies you've never heard of.
