Google and Facebook trackers in Garmin Connect app

Former Member over 5 years ago

As there is no chat available for this question I'll try it here. The privacy policy is (perhaps unsurprisingly) a bit vague on this point.

Does Garmin Connect share/sell (any) user data with/to Google or Facebook through one of the (6 in-app) trackers without explicitly connecting to them?

It is probably a bit hypocritical to want data driven advise from a company while maintaining privacy focused, but I just want to limit my data used for advertisement/profiling purposes where possible.

I doubt anyone on the user forum can tell you whether Garmin sells any data to Google, but since the operating system is from Google, they may have access to some of the data anyway, regardless of Garmin's consent.
