Say you purchase a personal fitness device like Fitbit and use the associated app on your iphone. You wanted to track your daily steps and try to lose weight. •They collect location information, heart rate, sleep data and use it, as far as you know, to remind you to exercise daily and move frequently at work.•The sequence is not far fetched, and while the result may be a healthier person who may not have realized a health problem, is that type of invasive analysis, that the end user never intended, ok? Does the ends justify the means? Do we as consumers have a right not to have our data analyzed beyond the intent of an application? please discuss briefly

See in above case the user installed the application , he is using that particular application . but he is not following the particular sequences .Their is something mismatch in sequence of operations .So this is not  invasive analysis .In  invasive analysis the every activity is performed & studied in a systematic way.So when the user is doing exercise if is not following the proper sequence ,

Then in that case what he / she is planning to reduce weight which will not be achieved. Because while reducing the weight the systematic efforts are very important .

Does the ends justify the means?

This end will not be justified.As he is not doing exercise in systematic way , the end result for which he/ she is working ie to reduce the weight , that will not be achieved.To reduce the weight we need systematic , scientific efforts.

Do we as consumers have a right not to have our data analyzed beyond the intent of an application?

See we can not say exactly this is as right , because while purchasing application or instruments its our responsibility to check that application in details.The facility , reliability , affordability etc.

But the analysis is very important , because on that analysis the person can take decision on what action should apply.

Means :

Time of exercise

Calorie burn

Stretch on body part

Diet plan

etc

If we have proper analysis that can help to reduce the weight in short time & systematic way.
