On the other hand, if you’re a new Fitbit user, then you’ll be required to register with a Google account this summer. Moving on, Google is arranging the new login requirements to promote the convenience of users, as it’ll allow them to use one password for both services instead of two separate accounts.
In addition, the company also says that users will be able to manage their Fitbit data from the Google Privacy Center, which is going to be more relevant to utmost privacy. As for data privacy, Google says that Fitbit data will remain separate from Google Ads data and will not be used for targeted ads.
