Did you know that "Heartbeat biometric identification is considered to be very accurate and at a similar level to fingerprints or retina recognition"? Food for thought.

@prologic yeah, or any fitbit... measuring the heartrate is easy and cheap, and depending on the accuracy level it can be as cheap as... well, PPG, and *any* phone with a camera and flashlight can do it. But only yesterday I connected the dots on my mind regarding the sort (and potential uses) of the data being collected as soon as someone tries out a new band or watch.

@prologic it is collected, we just don't know exactly what, how, where, what for or how long. A slightly tangential but good read about fitbit's data collection here.

@carsten the question here is whether or not Apple shares this data with themselves, despite turning off iCloud sharing?
