This pilot study considers risk in association with wearable devices by placing body-monitoring in conversation with privacy policies (i.e. who is controlling your data, by what means, and to what end). This article focuses on the increasingly commonplace embodied technology that is both pervasive and invasive to individuals' privacy as determined through the device users' interpretation of corporate privacy policies. The primary focus is on the underexplored intersection of undergraduate students, wearable technology, and privacy, which ultimately advocates for transparency in corporate privacy policies. In this pilot study, it was found that users who read through the privacy policies of Fitbit and Google are more likely to change their passwords and emails, pay more attention to legal jargon, and may be less likely to link all of their applications through Google.

design of content in an era of pervasive communication technologies" (Getto, 2017, n.p.). Besides the unfortunate omittance of a section on the future of content strategy, this book has included a wide range of perspectives on content strategy practices and therefore a must-read for instructors and scholars of technical communication. Given the accessible writing by its contributors, this book would make an important literature in both graduate and undergraduate courses. For the larger field of technical communication, this book serves as a springboard to future projects that may (should!) include a stronger industry presence by inviting practitioners, in addition to academics, to contribute their insights on the state of content strategy.
