How and why does Google collect and use my information?

We collect information that you give us, like your name and birth date, and we collect information as you use your Fitbit Ace LTE.  If your parent is helping you manage your Fitbit Ace LTE, we may also collect your location. We work hard to keep this information safe, and we use it for things like making our products more useful to you. 

 

For example, we collect data to:

  • Protect Google, our users, and the public: We use data to keep people safer online, like detecting and preventing fraud.
  • Provide our services: We use data to provide our services.  For example, we use the number of steps you take to help measure if you’ve achieved your movement goal, and we use your Fitbit Ace’s location to help you find it if it’s lost.
  • Maintain & improve our services: For example, we can track when your Fitbit Ace stops working as it’s supposed to. 
  • Keep your payments safe: For example, to ensure the security and validity of the payment card and transactions requested using it.
  • Develop new services: Data helps us develop new services. 
  • Measure performance: We use data to measure performance and understand how our services are used.
  • Communicate with you: For example, we might use your email address to send you a notification if we detect suspicious activity.

How can I decide what Google saves?

Did you know that your Fitbit Ace has settings and that you can change them now, or later in Settings?

  • How your Fitbit Ace LTE uses location

You can allow apps and services to use your Fitbit Ace LTE’s location. Google may also collect and use location data to help provide and improve services that use location.  For example, it can help figure out a more accurate location for you, or help you find your device if you lose it. If your parent is helping you manage your Fitbit Ace LTE, they control this setting.

  • How your Fitbit Ace LTE can help make other devices and Google services better

You’ve probably noticed that apps sometimes crash or stop working. You can allow your Fitbit Ace LTE to send information about how it is working to Google, so Google can diagnose problems and fix them for you and other people. Google may also let app developers know about these problems. If you have the Web & App Activity setting turned on on your Google Account, the data may also be saved to your account.
