Wearable devices and your privacy

Wearable devices such as fitness trackers can raise privacy issues because they collect data about you and your condition, activities and day-to-day choices. A few simple steps can help protect privacy while using wearable technologies.

• Read the privacy information before you buy.
• Choose strong privacy settings.
• Use a password.
• Turn off your devices when you’re not using them.
• Accept updates to ensure you have the latest security features.
• Respect the privacy of others. (Seek permission before recording or sharing video.)
• Wipe personal information from old devices you no longer use.
