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