I guess I just don't understand how you can not be bothered by the fact that your watch (or more accurately, the companion app on your phone) is constantly uploading detailed, realtime information about your life to a third party? Are you hardcore in the 'nothing to hide' camp? Do you just not believe that privacy is important?
If you're fine with Pebble knowing everything about you, are you fine with them selling all of this information to anyone they choose?
And given the ongoing litany of security breaches and data leaks, even if Pebble never use or sell your data for anything, are you fine with your information becoming public knowledge if Pebble ever get hacked or have their database leaked?
Some day we may just have to accept ubiquitous surveillance as the price for technology, but I don't think we've reached that point yet.
I'm struggling to care that apple knows I spent last week sleeping in Clapham, but this week sleeping in White City. I don't mind that it knows I went out near St Pauls last night. I can't even say that I'm worried if it could work out who I was out with (although frankly for that they can just read my whatsapp messages in the phone backups).
The part I would have a problem is selling that information. Because frankly I've paid enough for the phone so they can sod off. I don't own a pebble, but imagine I'd feel the same.
Now. I figure y'all have the right to get upset about the information being stored, and should have the right to opt out. But personally I'm more interested in getting worked up over other things that I want to change.
I just don't find GPS locations that big of a deal. I've been sitting for a few minutes trying to come up with sinister things one could use the data for and can only find one: burglars seeing when I am not at home.
.. and even in the unlikely event of Pebble selling my data to burglars who rob me it would be a tale on its own probably worth more than whatever they can steal from me. ;)
I actually am just not _that_ interesting and i can't see what anyone could want to really know about me...?
I mean I'd care if it turned out my credit details were being uploaded and I'm not trying to be funny, but realistically I struggle to see the value in my data
