IN PREPARATION FOR its product launch on 9 September, Apple has tightened the privacy rules surrounding its health and fitness apps.
The new rule change will prevent developers from collecting personal data from Apple’s HealthKit platform and using it to offer targeted ads for products like gym membership or health foods, according to the Financial Times.
HealthKit, Apple’s service which tracks health data like calorie intake, heart rate, movement and other fitness metrics, was originally revealed at Apple’s developer conference in June and is expected to play a major part in Apple’s product launch in a fortnight.
The service allows developers to contribute data from their own apps and draw on information from others if users grant it permission.
Your application must not access the HealthKit APIs unless it is primarily designed to provide health and/or fitness services, and this usage is clearly evident in your marketing text and user interface.You and your application may not use the HealthKit APIs, or any information obtained through the HealthKit APIs, for any purpose other than providing health and/or fitness services in connection with your application (eg not for serving advertising).
The privacy change also allows Apple’s to differentiate itself somewhat from rivals like Google, which relies on user data to offer up targeted ads.

Yacht rock?
Tayor has disappeared up his arse by the soudns of it.Still, I’ll probably visit at some point.
This Youtube show is the whole reason Yacht Rock is a thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMTI8vg7A5U
So a hipster bar basically
Essentially yes
Spent many a good night inside in the Twisted Pepper with my jaw swinging and eyes the size of black holes. Can’t see that happening in the new spot, which is a shame.
I’d never let that stop you.Take a double dose just before their new open and start flailing around the place with the costumes.
Can someone explain ‘yacht rock’ to me?
I just Googled it… sound like somewhere between porn soundtrack and easy listening
Thanks James. I’m getting old
I smell hipsters
So a hipster bar essentially
What gave it away?
Basically yes
Hipsters all over Dublin are creaming themselves right now. Or whatever the cool hipster version of creaming yourself is.
Crème freighting ones self.
Fraiching… Feck sake.
Doesn’t matter. You probably wouldn’t have heard of it.
That’s a teepee, not a wigwam.
Relax. You’re two tents.
Don’t yurt his feelings.
he clearly felt a point needed to be made
It will have been better when it was a nightclub. A big loss.
This is not important as its not about anything in Cork.
Cork.
Sir Henry’s.
Cork.
Yacht Rock……..ffs …
I liked chicken heart skewers before they were cool.
Wig wam bam gonna make you my man.
wam bam bam gonna get you if I can.
Wig wam bam gonna make you understand.
Try a little touch, try a little too much,
Just try a wig wam bam.
It’s like you read my mind hahhahaha
I say not too many on here know of The Sweet or the song Wig Wam Bam from 1972 (I wasn’t even born then but my dad played that song all the time )
Oh, you poor little thing – dat’s heinous ;-)
What time is Ben klock on?
Sounds like the most pretentious tosh in the world. Hope it collapses after 6 months
Bit harsh
But will there be Whiskey???
When you have to say that you’re not a hipster bar, you’re definitely a hipster bar… This place will be swarming with skinny jeans and hair buns in no time!
Nightclubs are dead / dying… Thankfully.
You can’t eat Brunch at 2am. and can’t enjoy a nightclub with a killjoy attitude like that..
have your say
