Re/ oura rings... anyone else paranoid of a private company having access to intensely personal data?

If I were an insurance company I'd be lobbying the shit out of these guys to see how much they'd charge me to get my hands on it.

(and yeah, I read Oura's privacy agreement already... was less than impressed)

Of course, but this is just another in a long train of abuse-potential. The technology isn't the choke point for protecting our rights, and individual consumer choices will never be revolutionary enough to alter the terms of consumption.
FYI, here is their privacy policy - https://ouraring.com/privacy-policy-device-and-application/

And an article they wrote regarding the impact of GDPR - https://help.ouraring.com/oura-account-and-privacy/ouras-pri...

Would you trust Oura more or less than Fitbit or other, similar vendors?
