+Title: Privacy respecting health monitor / fitness tracker?
+Tags: english
+Date: 2018-08-07 16:00
+
+<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>
