How Secure is Your Wellness Data?
Almost everyone we know has them and uses them; fitness wearables and fitness apps. From FitBits, to apple watches, to My Fitness Pal, to menstrual and pregnancy tracking apps, we use them to track our steps, our heart rates, our meditation minutes, our rest, our food, and our menstrual cycles.
They're on our wrists and on our phones and pretty much by our sides at all moments of our day.
They are convenient and can be very useful in supporting us to reach our goals.
But what else might be tracked while we use these apps and wearables?
Who might be looking at our data and what are they doing with it?
Are we as savvy and aware of the risks to our personal data and identities as we think we are being?
This past week I had the honor to have Amanda Goedde, inclusive and body positive fitness/yoga instructor and cyber security leader share her wisdom and knowledge about data security, particularly around fitness apps and wearables with Marissa and I.
What happens to the data you enter into these apps?
What risks are there in using wearables and tracking apps?
What protections do we have against cyber threats with these apps?
In this episode of the Strong and Simple Podcast, Amanda answers your questions and provides important information to maintain your cyber safety.
I hope this episode provides useful and supportive information for you!
