How Your Gym Wearable Shares Your Workout Data with Insurers

Lucas and Luna explore how fitness trackers and smart gym wearables collect not just your steps, but your heart rate variability, sleep patterns, and even your location history—and how that data flows to health insurers, data brokers, and employers. They dig into a specific case: a 2025 investigation by the Norwegian Consumer Council that found popular gym wearables sharing detailed health metrics with third parties without clear consent. Lucas explains the GDPR implications, including a recent fine against a wearable maker in Germany for insufficient data processing agreements. Luna questions whether the 'privacy policy' disclosures are enough, and they discuss how users can opt out or limit data sharing. The episode ends with a reflection on the trade-off between personalized health insights and surveillance. #GymWearables #FitnessTrackerPrivacy #HealthData #GDPR #DataBrokers #InsuranceUnderwriting #NorwegianConsumerCouncil #WearableTech #PrivacyRights #Consent #HealthInsurance #DataProtection #FitnessTech #BiometricData #TechRegulation #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
