What it is

The policy discloses that Google collects health information including medical history, vital signs, and health metrics through services such as Fitbit, Pixel devices, and the Google Health Studies app, and states that processing of health data subject to the Washington My Health My Data Act and Nevada SB 370 occurs with user consent, which may be withdrawn.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision identifies health data as a collected category across multiple Google hardware and software products and establishes consent as the stated legal basis for processing under the Washington My Health My Data Act and Nevada SB 370, creating withdrawal rights that are operationally distinct from general account-level privacy controls.

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
    To delete health data associated with your Google Account, navigate to your Google Account settings, select Data and Privacy, and use the Delete a Google service option to remove health-related services, or contact Google to submit a deletion request for specific health data categories.

If You Do Nothing

Health data collected through Fitbit, Pixel devices, and Google Health Studies will be processed as described in the policy unless users withdraw consent where permitted under applicable state law.

"
Health information if you choose to provide it, such as your medical history, vital signs and health metrics (like blood glucose levels), and other similar information related to your physical or mental health, in the course of using Google services that offer health-related features, such as the Google Health Studies app, Fitbit, or Pixel devices. The Washington My Health My Data Act and Nevada Senate Bill 370 provide specific rights in addition to those rights above, that apply to health information. When you provide health information subject to these laws, Google processes it with your consent, which you may withdraw, or as otherwise permitted by these laws.
