Best Practices for Consumer Wearables and Wellness Apps and Devices Guidelines
The Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) released Best Practices for Consumer Wearables and Wellness Apps and Devices, a detailed set of guidelines that responsible companies can follow to ensure they provide practical privacy protections for consumer-generated health and wellness data. The document was produced with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and incorporates input from a wide range of stakeholders including companies, advocates, and regulators. The Best Practices build on current legal protections and app platform guidelines by providing specific guidance to ensure consumer apps include appropriate privacy protections, as well as developing responsible guidelines for research and other secondary uses of consumer-generated wellness data.
