ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Health research data sharing involves your most sensitive biometric information being transferred to third parties outside Fitbit, and the consent terms at enrollment govern what protections apply—not this general privacy policy.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Fitbit collects a wide range of sensitive personal health data including heart rate, sleep stages, menstrual cycle tracking, GPS location, and exercise history, which may be shared with third-party developers you authorize and with corporate successors in a merger or acquisition. Users who have linked their Fitbit to a Google Account should be aware that their data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy rather than this document, which changes the applicable rights and data handling framework. You can review and adjust which third-party apps have access to your Fitbit data through the Fitbit app settings, and EU, UK, and California residents can submit data access, deletion, or correction requests through Fitbit's account settings or by contacting privacy@fitbit.com.
