Connecting a wearable to an app may involve personal wellness information. Before choosing or linking an app, the FTC recommends comparing privacy protections and understanding what information is collected, why it is used, and whether it is shared.
Use a quick privacy check
- Read the current privacy notice.
- Review sharing and permission settings.
- Choose only the access needed for the features you plan to use.
- Keep the app and phone operating system updated.
Revisit settings after major updates because options and policies can change. Share wellness information only when you understand the purpose and are comfortable with the privacy tradeoff.
