Google Health and data privacy (Fitbit)

Committed to your privacy

The Fitbit app is now Google Health. Your data is still secure and yours to control.

We are dedicated to protecting your information and ensuring that your data is used responsibly and securely to support your health and wellness journey. Your personal information is only shared with your consent (except for selected cases, like for legal reasons).

Explore our help articles to learn more about how Google Health protects your health data.

You're in control of your Google health data

How you use Google Health is a personal choice – it's up to you. To help you make decisions about what data you choose to save or delete, we make it easy to understand what data is being collected and why. See what data Google Health collects and how it's used in your Google Health app settings or your Google Account.

Control your health data with easy-to-find and easy-to-use privacy settings for your most sensitive data types and turn optional features on or off at any time.

Safeguarding your health data

Google committed to not use Fitbit users' health and wellness data for Google Ads. The Fitbit app is now Google Health, and we continue to keep this commitment.

Delete or export your data at any time

You can export or delete your health data at any time from your Google Health app settings or your Google Account. You can also delete your Google Health account or service at any time and have the option to recover your service for up to 30 days.

A multi-layered approach to security

Google Health uses Google's security practices to keep your data safe and private and protect against unauthorised access to Google Health systems.

Data transmission between our devices and servers is always encrypted. You can see more details about this in the Google Privacy Policy.

We are committed to providing industry-leading security, which is why we regularly review our security practices for the ongoing protection of your data, and two-step authentication is available to secure your account.

Do more, with your permission

Add more helpful features at any time. If you want to use optional features, some need additional data collection and processing, and you can turn off these features at any point.

With your consent, you can also share data to be used for the research and development of new products and services or to support health research. None of the data used for these purposes will include your name, email or other information that directly identifies you.
