    who picks what habits are good and what are bad? who decides what happens to data beyond this? can you going to mcdonalds twice a day be shared with your health insurer? can you going to that rally be shared with the local police? with your landlord? are you comfortable with everyone knowing everything? because there’s two things you do with data: analyze, and sell.

      I mean they use the data to decide what actions are high risk. Someone tailgating and tapping their brakes constantly is inherently less safe than someone leaving proper distance.

      Privacy theft, I get it. An opt out should always be available and easy to use.

      If you truly have an issue with insurance deciding what is or isn’t safe there are organizations that can take over that such as ASTM or NFPA.

      can you going to mcdonalds twice a day be shared with your health insurer?

      You think this data isn’t already shared?
