Compare across platforms →"Fitbit allows parents to set up accounts for their children to use with select Fitbit devices ("Children's Account"). Children's Accounts are subject to a separate Privacy Policy for Children's Accounts which explains what information we collect to set up these accounts, what information we collect from a child's use of our Services, and how we use and share that information. Parents or guardians must consent to the use of their child's data in accordance with the Privacy Policy for Children's Accounts in order to create such an account. Persons under the age of 13, or any higher minimum age in the jurisdiction where that person resides, are not permitted to create accounts unless their parent has consented in accordance with applicable law. If we learn that we have collected the personal information of a child under the relevant minimum age without parental consent, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. Parents who believe that their child has submitted personal information to us and would like to have it deleted may contact us at data-protection-office@fitbit.com.Excerpt from Fitbit's Privacy Policy
