I am looking for a good fitness tracker to start doing cardio in a more measured way.

I was interested in Polar and Oura as EU alternatives (both Finnish companies), but both send data (health data, which is sensitive according to Article 9 of the GDPR) to AWS.

Are you aware of any EU solutions, or at least non-US, Chinese, Russian, or Israeli solutions, that do not send my data to companies in those countries?

I would like to be able to organize something self-hosted, but I don’t think I’m capable of doing that yet.

    I’m not sure how popular they are now, but there are speedometers/odometers you can get for bikes that are just physical devices. You wouldn’t get a gps view of the route you took, but you could still easily track how far you went.

    Not sure on running though. I guess some math with a pedometer would get you part of the way there?
