What are the privacy implications of wearable technology, such as fitness trackers and smartwatches?

Wearable technology, including fitness trackers and smartwatches, collects a wide range of personal data, such as health metrics and location information. The privacy implications include potential data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information. To mitigate these risks, choose wearables from reputable manufacturers that prioritize data security. Review and adjust privacy settings to control what data is collected and shared. Regularly update the device firmware to protect against security vulnerabilities and be mindful of app permissions associated with the wearable.
