While Amazon states that it currently does not use Halo health data for marketing, product recommendations, or advertising, the Halo is still collecting a lot of personal body-related information about you-including potentially listening to what you say and measuring your tone. The problem is what Amazon could potentially use all this data for. The problem isn't that all the data this device collects will be kept insecurely, Amazon generally does a good job securing your data. We gave the Halo Band our *Privacy Not Included warning label because we felt just because you can, doesn't mean you should potentially collect all that data, do tone of voice analysis, and ask for pictures of people in their underwear be uploaded to Amazon. You've taken creepy to a whole new level. Last year when Amazon came out with the Halo Band, we were like, Amazon, you've done it. This fitness tracker also requires a $4 a month subscription to access all features. With everything this device collects, we sure hope that's true. It's nice they put a little note on the product page talking about how seriously they take your privacy. Giving Amazon a picture of yourself in your underwear sounds like a truly terrible idea, even if they claim it will automatically be deleted from the cloud after it is processed. But that's not even the creepiest part! Amazon also asks you to take pictures of yourself in your underwear so it can measure and track your body fat. The Halo's microphones listen to you and use machine learning to measure the tone, energy, and positivity of your voice to "help strengthen communication." Not gonna lie, Amazon tone policing you (sorry, "tone of voice analysis" is how they frame it) sounds a little creepy.

Amazon's Halo fitness band-there's no display, it's just a fitness tracking band packed full of sensors and microphones-tracks the usual: steps, heart rate, sleep, calories, and more.
