What can I do to improve my privacy if I want to use the Nike+iPod kit?
We strongly suggest turning off your Nike+iPod sensor when you are not actively working out. Unfortunately, this suggestion will only help you when you’re not working out. If you want to workout with the Nike+iPod kit, then we are unaware of any way to improve your location privacy during your workout. • Q: Could Apple have designed their system in a more privacy-preserving way? A: Yes, there are simple cryptographic technique that the Nike+iPod designers could have used to improve the privacy-preserving properties of the Nike+iPod Sport Kit. But, as with any technical change, there will be some associated tradeoffs, like sensor battery life, manufacturing costs, and use experience. See Section 6 of the technical report below for more information. • Q: Will you be releasing your software? A: We currently do not plan to release our software.
