Knowing you have the right to delete your health data and how to exercise it is critical, especially given the sensitivity of the biometric and health information Fitbit stores.
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
⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
Delete Your Data
Open the Fitbit app, go to your profile, tap Account, then Manage Data to request deletion of your personal data or close your account entirely.
Export Your Data
Log into fitbit.com, navigate to Settings, select Data Export, and request a full download of your personal data in a portable format.
Applicable agencies
FTC
The FTC oversees consumer rights to access and delete personal data and can act against companies that fail to honor stated data rights commitments.
California's CCPA and other state privacy laws grant residents enforceable rights to access and delete personal data, enforced by state attorneys general.
