What it is

Users who post photos, images, video, data, text, exercise regimens, food logs, recipes, or other content to the Fitbit Service grant Fitbit a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, modify, distribute, and create derivative works from that content, including the user's name and likeness, across any media, limited to the purpose of offering and improving the Fitbit Service.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes Fitbit to reproduce, modify, sublicense, and distribute user-posted content, including names and likenesses, on a royalty-free worldwide basis. The purpose limitation to offering and improving the Fitbit Service provides some constraint, though the scope of that purpose is not further defined in the document.

Interpretive note: The scope of the purpose limitation to 'offering and improving the Fitbit Service' is not further defined in the document, creating ambiguity about what uses are authorized under the license.
