the issue is that they're collecting this data in the first place.

I cant help but wonder how much it would cost to get the sleep records of a competitor of mine - or if it's not for sale, how much the data would be worth on the black market if their servers got hacked.

I have doubts this information is being kept as securely as it should be, that's where my concern lies.

The whole point of the device & service they are selling is, they collect this data. Then you can log in and see it in the future.

Distributing is a different concern. But people pay jawbone to actually collect and store it, so they can view it later.

Well, if one is willing to one-up a fellow human like that, one is a bad person. But you don't need Jawbone data to do that, there are plenty other ways. Honestly, the problem in your example isn't the data.

one is a bad person

So what? Time and time again things that would make you a bad person are silently accepted as normal or even expected of a business.

You're correctly describing the state of the world, but my indirect point was that we should stop accepting such behaviour in business and shun people who do. It's stupid and wrong.
