Lose It!: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Lose It! is an app for counting calories and managing weight, offered by FitNow, Inc. According to its App Store listing, the app processes health and fitness data in addition to contact details. The service is delivered as a mobile app with an associated online account.

FitNow, Inc. does business as Lose It!, is based in New York and, according to its privacy policy, is owned by Ziff Davis. The policy states that its servers are located in the United States and that data from users worldwide is transferred to the United States; data may also be shared within the Ziff Davis group of companies. The company says it participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and relies on standard contractual clauses for other transfers, and it names a data protection officer for EU residents. Health data is a special category of personal data under the GDPR, so US jurisdiction and transfers to the United States deserve particular attention here.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Lose It!

Lose It! is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Lose It! hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Lose It! is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Lose It! together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
