Children's Data Restriction (Under 13)

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Without robust age verification, children's sensitive health data could be collected and processed without appropriate parental consent, creating legal risk and real harm to minors.

Consumer impact

Fitbit collects sensitive health and biometric data — including heart rate, sleep patterns, menstrual cycles, weight, and GPS location — and may share it with Google, third-party service providers, and health platforms. Users who link a Google Account are subject to Google's broader privacy practices, significantly expanding how their data may be used. You can review and delete your Fitbit data or request a data export through the Fitbit app under Account Settings.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC enforces COPPA, which governs the collection of personal data from children under 13 by online services including health and fitness apps.
