The uptick in the use of wearable devices, including fitness and wellness trackers, means companies are collecting lots of new data, and the Consumer Electronics Association wants to make sure consumers are protected. Recently, the group released a new set of privacy guidelines aimed at companies that handle personal wellness data.
