  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Dear lazyweb,&lt;/p&gt;
  15
  16 &lt;p&gt;I wonder, is there a fitness tracker / health monitor available for
  17 sale today that respect the users privacy?  With this I mean a
  18 watch/bracelet capable of measuring pulse rate and other
  19 fitness/health related values (and by all means, also the correct time
  20 and location if possible), which is &lt;strong&gt;only&lt;/strong&gt; provided for
  21 me to extract/read from the unit with computer without a radio beacon
  22 and Internet connection.  In other words, it do not depend on a cell
  23 phone app, and do make the measurements available via other peoples
  24 computer (aka &quot;the cloud&quot;).  The collected data should be available
  25 using only free software.  I&#39;m not interested in depending on some
  26 non-free software that will leave me high and dry some time in the
  27 future.  I&#39;ve been unable to find any such unit.  I would like to buy
  28 it.  The ones I have seen for sale here in Norway are proud to report
  29 that they share my health data with strangers (aka &quot;cloud enabled&quot;).
  30 Is there an alternative?  I&#39;m not interested in giving money to people
  31 requiring me to accept &quot;privacy terms&quot; to allow myself to measure my
  32 own health.&lt;/p&gt;
