TOO MUCH PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED
Great price for a bluetooth scale. It was easy to install the app for my android phone and as long as bluetooth is on (which it can turn on for you if you step on it) it will take and save all of your readings. Can't say I'm happy with my metabolic age! But that's not the scale's fault. UPDATE: I've been using the app for a couple of months and noticed tonight that I can't access my personal information unless I agree to their new Privacy Policy. I took the time to read the lengthy document which includes information about not being able to use this product if you are under age ... That may be boilerplate, but that and other clauses about being able to share my personal information with their affiliates is a red flag for me. I've worked in IT for decades and I'm cautious and concerned when someone wants to keep a personal file with data that is outside the scope of the application or intended use. So bottom line ... If I won't sign (accept) the "new" privacy policy, then I LOOSE all of my data to date. THIS IS A BATHROOM SCALE. What happens between my scale and I should stay in the confines of my proximity Bluetooth. I should never be held hostage to a company who wants to collect personal data from my cellphone. I feel badly because I have personally recommended this product to friends some of whom have bought this scale on my recommendation. Now I need to go back and discuss these privacy concerns with each of them. I think it's important for each of us to be aware and informed about what personal data we consent to share. And it's important to draw a line and let companies know when they have crossed that line.
