Smartwatches and fitness trackers know a lot about you. They track how you sleep, how you move, and how your heart responds to stress. That kind of insight can be powerful. It can help you train smarter, recover faster, and better understand your body. But it also means handing over some of your most personal data.

So, can we really trust that our wearables are keeping our data safe?
