Amazon’s Halo fitness tracker raises privacy concerns for Amy Klobuchar
The senior senator from Minnesota discusses health privacy, tech antitrust and how much maple yogurt is too much
After reading a review of Amazon’s new fitness tracker, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar penned an open letter.
“Recent reports have raised concerns about the Halo’s access to this extensive personal and private health information,” the lawmaker wrote to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar. “Among publicly available consumer health devices, the Halo appears to collect an unprecedented level of personal information.”
The senator is far from the first critic to express concern about the fitness tracker the Halo raised eyebrows the moment it was unveiled in August. She is, however, one of the few critics in a position to actually do something about the device, which features both an always-on microphone and asks wearers to perform a full body scan.
