Societe Generale responded to App to monitor the heart rate and steps of users: this permission is not enabled by default

CTOnews.com News, August 9, August 4, Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission said in an article that consumers reported that Societe Generale App would monitor heart rate and pace, sparking netizens' discussion.

The Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission said it hoped that Societe Generale would clearly and clearly tell consumers the purpose of asking for data on consumers' health status and fitness activities, otherwise it would be easy to raise questions.

Today, Societe Generale responded to thepaper.cn that the permission is not enabled by default, and that the prompt box for applying for the relevant permission will only be popped up when you intend to participate in the "vigorous walk" activity, and the information will be obtained only with the consent of the customer. If the customer does not agree, it will not affect their use of other functions of mobile banking.

App of Societe Generale, which CTOnews.com views the vivo app store, found that the required permissions include "access to body sensors (such as heart rate monitors)" and "access to the user's operational information". Mi Store's Societe Generale App also includes similar rights such as "access to body sensor information".

Apple App Store's Societe Generale App also includes data collection related to "Health and Fitness".
