If you agree, when you use Fitbit products and services, Fitbit and Google will collect and use your data to research and develop new health and wellness products and services for you and others. This data includes your:
- Health and wellness data, such as steps, heart rate, and sleep data
- Data from a device that you connect to Fitbit
For example, heart rate data from Fitbit devices helped develop a new heart health notifications feature.
Your data may also be used to generate findings that could be included in publications (such as science journals or Fitbit blog articles) to contribute to general knowledge about health and science. For example, activity, heart rate, and sleep data contributed to published findings that Fitbit devices could help detect flu outbreaks.
None of the data used for these purposes will include your name, email, or other information that directly identifies you.
Allowing your data to be used for research and development is completely optional, and not necessary to use Fitbit.
You can turn this off anytime from your Fitbit settings.
If you do not agree, your data will not be used to research and develop new products and services or to support health research.
