Amazfit’s Continuous Commitment to Security and Privacy
The Amazfit T-Rex 3 is equipped with software that allows users to store their GPS data directly on the device, without the need to upload it to the cloud. This local storage option gives users autonomy over their location data, a rare feature in the smartwatch market. For those who prefer cloud storage, Amazfit uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) to ensure the highest level of data security. All cloud-stored data is encrypted and fully GDPR compliant, giving users peace of mind no matter how they choose to handle their data.

This flexibility allows the T-Rex 3 to cater to a variety of privacy needs, particularly for users who are concerned about third-party access to their sensitive data.
Comprehensive Backup and Recovery Solutions
