I am looking for a good fitness tracker to start doing cardio in a more measured way.

I was interested in Polar and Oura as EU alternatives (both Finnish companies), but both send data (health data, which is sensitive according to Article 9 of the GDPR) to AWS.

Are you aware of any EU solutions, or at least non-US, Chinese, Russian, or Israeli solutions, that do not send my data to companies in those countries?

I would like to be able to organize something self-hosted, but I don’t think I’m capable of doing that yet.

    While AWS is an American company, you might not know that it has data centres all over the planet. Anyone using AWS can configure where their data lives, and therefore which laws apply.

    That said, I’d be interested in something that doesn’t store the data remotely at all.
