Apple Watch Privacy Questioned by Connecticut AG Jepsen

Apple faces questions by Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen over privacy protections for users of the company’s watch, which includes features such as health tracking.

AG Jepsen said he asked Apple’s Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook for a meeting with representatives of the company. AG Jepsen said he wants to know whether Apple will allow users to store personal and health information on the Apple Watch or on computer servers, and how that information will be protected. He said he would ask Apple if it will review privacy policies for apps, and if it intends to enforce policies requiring it to reject apps that offer diagnoses or treatment advice without regulatory approval.
