Why it matters

This provision means millions of Fitbit users may be unaware that their health data is governed by Google's expansive data ecosystem, not just Fitbit's narrower policy.

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.

What you can do

āš ļø These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Export Your Data
    Open the Fitbit app, go to your profile, select Account Settings, then Data Export to download your personal data before or after unlinking a Google Account.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC oversees unfair or deceptive data practices, including inadequate disclosure of data sharing with affiliated companies like Google.
