MFP data from UK & Europe (EEA) especially Special Category sensitive data such as Health Data, is being processed by MyFitnessPal in the USA, it is NOT covered under the Under Armour Data Shield. This is a contravention of the GDPR and so suggests MFP is NOT GDPR compliant and is NOT respecting our data. While the new data privacy notice goes some way to explaining some of the changes, this is a fundamental and important point that appears not to have been addressed.

What this means is that MFP are moving sensitive special category data out of the EU and the processing it under the much more lax laws of the USA.

    asaik GDPR is a Euro regulation, and MFP / Underarmor is a US company, therefore they do not need to comply

     Article 3 of the GDPR says that if you collect personal data or behavioral information from someone in an EU country, your company is subject to the requirements of the GDPR.
