The FBI is promoting an at-home exercise app that also tracks your phone’s location and data (Business Insider)

If you are interested in privacy, this is probably not the app for you.

In a statement to Business Insider, an FBI spokesperson reiterated the app’s privacy statement, adding that “the app does not gather or save any personal information other than what you select for your profile.”

But the app’s privacy statement makes room for some tracking: When FitTest accesses pages from the official FBI website, it says, “fbi.gov’s privacy policy applies.” The fbi.gov privacy policy states that “individuals using this computer system are subject to having all of their activities monitored and recorded.” The FitTest privacy statement doesn’t explicitly state which app functions fall under the fbi.gov privacy policy and which do not.

The app has been around since 2018, but they’ve been promoting it during the epidemic.
