Data transferred to potentially less protective countries
Fitbit operates internationally and transfers information to countries including the United States, which may have privacy and data protection laws that are different from and potentially less protective than the laws of your country.
Why it matters: Your personal data may be subject to less stringent privacy and data protection laws when transferred to other countries, potentially reducing your legal protections.
We operate internationally and transfer information to the United States and other countries for the purposes described in this policy. Please note that the countries where we operate may have privacy and data protection laws that differ from, and are potentially less protective than, the laws of your country.

Account deletion may take up to 90 days
While most of your information will be deleted within 30 days if you choose to delete your account, it may take up to 90 days to delete all information, such as data recorded by your Fitbit device and data stored in backup systems.
Why it matters: Your data may remain on Fitbit's systems for up to 90 days after account deletion, primarily due to the complexity of their data storage systems.
If you choose to delete your account, please note that while most of your information will be deleted within 30 days, it may take up to 90 days to delete all of your information, like the data recorded by your Fitbit device and other data stored in our backup systems. This is due to the size and complexity of the systems we use to store data.

No collections of personal information from children under 13 without consent
Persons under the age of 13, or any higher minimum age in their jurisdiction, are not permitted to create accounts unless their parent has consented. If personal information of a child under the relevant minimum age is collected without parental consent, Fitbit will take steps to delete it.
Why it helps: This protects children's privacy by requiring parental consent for account creation for specified age groups and outlining a process for deleting inadvertently collected child data.
Persons under the age of 13, or any higher minimum age in the jurisdiction where that person resides, are not permitted to create accounts unless their parent has consented in accordance with applicable law. If we learn that we have collected the personal information of a child under the relevant minimum age without parental consent, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. Parents who believe that their child has submitted personal information to us and would like to have it deleted may contact us at [data-protection-office@fitbit.com](mailto:data-protection-office@fitbit.com).
