Cell phone services don't record your heart rate.

As has been noted on HN several times, there are cars that monitor when you have sex in them. You might be surprised what is known and by whom.

There is no proof they actually have that capability, it is just mentioned in their privacy policy.

That sounds more like "legal asked for list of everything we collect, and anything we could collect by accident or inference" - and it leading to hilarious results - which I have seen firsthand before.
