    This is way worse than people think.

    Imagine in 10 years time (for example) spying on us has become the norm.

    You’re wearing a smart watch, have medical complaints and the doctor suggests you walk 5 miles a day, or change your diet, or whatever.

    Unbeknownst to you, that information has been sold to insurance companies or anyone else and they have included it as a clause in your contract. You didn’t walk 5 miles one day, or didn’t change your diet sufficiently. Your claim is now void.

    Or if you are a diabetic and ate a doughnut (for example) and had a small blood sugar spike. It just so happens that the same day you are involved in a car crash. You will likely be accused of causing it, may lose your licence, never mind not being able to make a claim.
