Previous Fitbit Platform Terms of Service

Last revised on August 1st, 2018
This is a previous version. Please also see the current terms.

We are excited to include you as a developer on the Fitbit Platform. The Fitbit Platform, including the Fitbit Web API and Fitbit Developer Tools, is provided as an asset to Fitbit’s community members and partners to facilitate innovation in health, wellness, and fitness applications. We designed it to interact with and enhance the Fitbit Products and the Fitbit User Interface. While we try to provide the most open and flexible access we can, we have to strike a balance between developer needs, user privacy, and the integrity of Fitbit’s product and business vision.

As a Fitbit user, you have agreed to the Fitbit Terms of Service and reviewed the Privacy Policy. By accessing or using the Fitbit Platform, you are entering into an additional legal agreement with Fitbit, Inc., acting on behalf of itself and its subsidiary Fitbit International Limited, an Irish registered company, (“Fitbit”) and hereby acknowledge and agree to the following terms of service (the "Fitbit Platform Terms of Service" or "Terms"). The Terms govern all access to and use of the Fitbit Web API, the Fitbit Developer Tools, the Fitbit Data, and/or the Fitbit User Interface, and any documentation or other assets provided to you by Fitbit. In the event of any conflict with the Fitbit Platform Terms of Service and the Fitbit Terms of Service, these Terms shall control.

Please carefully read these Terms, including without limitation any additional terms and conditions linked to or referenced herein. By accessing or using the Fitbit Platform, you are agreeing that you have read these Terms, and that you agree to comply with and to be bound by these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations in their entirety without limitation or qualification. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, then do not access or otherwise use the Fitbit Platform.

These Terms are effective as of the first date that you use the Fitbit Platform ("Effective Date"). We anticipate that the Fitbit Platform, including the Fitbit Web API and Fitbit Developer Tools, and these Terms will evolve and may be updated from time to time. We will always post any such update of these Terms at the Fitbit Developer Portal, and the updated Terms will be effective and apply to you as updated as of the date of posting. If you do not agree to an update to these Terms, do not continue to access or use the Fitbit Platform.

If you are using the Fitbit Platform to develop an Application for use on a supported Fitbit Product, your Application must comply with the Fitbit App Gallery Guidelines, and you must agree to the Fitbit App Distribution Agreement before you can distribute your Application.

If there is a use case you would like to see covered that is not currently supported by the Fitbit Web API, the Fitbit Developer Tools, or these Terms, please contact us to discuss. Additionally, we encourage all Fitbit developers to participate in the developer forums.

a. The Fitbit Developer Tools and the Fitbit Web API are provided to you in order to enable you to develop Applications designed to interact with and enhance, extend, and improve the Fitbit Platform, or for data backup purposes. You shall not use the Fitbit Developer Tools or Fitbit Web API in order to design or develop anything other than an Application for use with the Fitbit Platform and the Fitbit Products, and the Fitbit Developer Tools and Fitbit Web API shall not be used to create services that replace or provide similar functionality to the Fitbit Platform or Fitbit Products.

b. You shall not sell Fitbit data in any form, even if aggregated or anonymized. Fitbit Data accessed via the Fitbit Web API or Fitbit Developer Tools shall be used solely as necessary to provide your Application to Users as permitted by these Terms. Fitbit Data shall never be used for targeted advertising of Users, nor shall it be disclosed to brokers or resellers in any form or format.

c. You acknowledge that Fitbit or other developers may independently create applications, content, and other products or services that are similar to or competitive with your Application. Nothing in these Terms shall prevent or restrict Fitbit or other developers from creating and fully exploiting any applications, content, and other items they may develop, with no obligation to you.

e. If your Application causes a User’s account to violate the Terms, your access to the Fitbit Developer Tools and access by your Application to the Fitbit Web API may be suspended or revoked.

f. Fitbit reserves the right to disable or upgrade the Fitbit Platform, the Fitbit Web API, the Fitbit Developer Tools, and/or related services at any time without notice to you and without any form of compensation or consideration to you, regardless of the status of any Developer Applications. Fitbit has no obligation to ensure that an upgrade of the Fitbit Developer Tools or Fitbit Web API or related services will continue to be compatible with existing Developer Applications.

g. Customers and Users must be permitted to express contact preferences, via notice and opt-out, at the point of collection, and in each subsequent marketing piece.

h. You must have a user agreement for your Application that clearly informs the user of the terms and conditions applicable to use of your Application. You also must have a privacy policy that describes any information you may collect. In order to collect, maintain, share, store, and/or use User Data, you must obtain the informed consent of each User, and your user agreement and privacy policy shall be made available for a User’s review at the point of authorization and from within your Application’s User interface. Your user agreement and privacy policy shall at a minimum disclose your practices regarding User Data and the following:

  • What data you collect;
  • How you use, store, and/or share the data;

3. Principles and Best Practices

When developing with the Fitbit Platform, we ask that you honor the following Principles and Best Practices:

a. Do not be destructive of User Data.

b. When submitting data about a User from your Application to Fitbit, the User should be notified.

c. Do your best to be true to user intent when accessing, displaying, storing, and writing User Data. You will take reasonable steps to ensure that any data about a User that you provide to Fitbit is reasonably accurate. Fitbit may remove or refuse any data from our service that we determine to be inaccurate, inappropriate, or misleading.

d. Do not overwrite or delete User Data without first challenging a User’s intent and receiving confirmation from the User that they intend to overwrite or delete their User Data.

e. Do not misrepresent data to a User after retrieval from or before submission to the Fitbit Platform. For example, when displaying User Data to be submitted to the Fitbit Platform, represent the data as it will be submitted, without potentially confusing summarization, aggregation, or exchange of units.

f. Respect Users and their privacy settings within your Application.

g. Developer Applications that are not accessed on Fitbit Products should offer Users a clear path back to their Fitbit Account.

  • Always provide clear documentation and links for Users to access their Fitbit Account from your Application.
  • Paths to Fitbit User accounts should be available wherever User Data is displayed.
  • Paths to Users’ Fitbit accounts should be available in "Setting," "Account," or a similar location from within your Application.
  • When displaying Fitbit Data in your Application, Fitbit must be noted as the source of Fitbit Data using the text link and/or logo icon made available to you through the Fitbit Developer Portal.

h. Be a good partner to Fitbit.

  • Work to complement or extend the Fitbit Platform and Fitbit Products with your Application, without replacing the use of the Fitbit User Interface.
  • Respect the intellectual property rights of others.
  • Respect the features and functionality of the Fitbit Products and do not try to disrupt, circumvent, or disable any of those features or functionalities.
  • If you do not comply with these Terms, Fitbit reserves the right to remove your access to the Fitbit Platform.

4. License and Ownership of Certain Intellectual Property

a. Subject at all times to your full compliance with these Terms, Fitbit grants you a nonexclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the Fitbit Platform (excluding the Fitbit Developer Tools) solely to develop, reproduce, and distribute (on products other than the Fitbit Products) Developer Applications having an authorized connection to the Fitbit Web API.

b. Subject at all times to your full compliance with these Terms, Fitbit grants you a nonexclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the Fitbit Developer Tools, on an internal basis and with a Fitbit Product owned or controlled by you that is supported by the Fitbit Developer Tools, in order to develop and test Developer Applications solely for use on Fitbit Products. In order to distribute a Developer Application for use on Fitbit Products, you must agree to the Fitbit Application Distribution Agreement.

c. You hereby grant a worldwide, royalty-free license to Fitbit under all rights that are or would be necessary for Fitbit to copy, display, and/or modify your name(s), logo(s), content, and information for the limited purpose of demonstrating your Application and/or promoting it on the Fitbit Platform. However, Fitbit has no obligation to use or promote any Developer Application.

d. You represent and warrant that you have all rights, including all copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights, in the Developer Applications necessary to offer the Developer Applications to end users and to grant the license described in Section 4(c) to Fitbit in these Terms.

e. If your Application includes any Open Source Software, you agree to comply with all applicable Open Source Software licensing terms, including by providing the notices and passing through the relevant licenses. You also agree not to use any Open Source Software in the development of your Application in such a way that would cause the non-Open Source Software portions of the Fitbit Platform to be subject to any Open Source Software licensing terms or obligations. “Open Source Software” means any software that requires as a condition of use, modification or distribution of such software that such software or other software incorporated into, derived from or distributed with such software (i) be disclosed or distributed in source code form, (ii) be licensed for the purpose of making derivative works, or (iii) be redistributable at no charge.

f. Any third party code or other materials included as part of the Fitbit Platform is licensed to you under the applicable third party license.

g. You, and not Fitbit, are responsible for providing all customer and technical support and maintenance for your Developer Applications. Fitbit has no obligation to provide any type of support for the Fitbit Platform, in particular including the Fitbit Developer Tools or Fitbit Web API, or any services or content related thereto.

h. We collect information from developers, including your account information and usage information including your usage of the Fitbit Web API and Fitbit Developer Tools, in order to provide support and improve the Fitbit Platform as described in the Fitbit Privacy Policy.

a. Subject at all times to your full compliance with these Terms, and with the Fitbit Trademark Policy and Brand Guidelines made available in the Fitbit Developer Portal, Fitbit grants you a nonexclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable, non-transferable royalty-free license to use the Fitbit logo solely for and strictly limited to the promotion and integration of your Application with the Fitbit Platform in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Section 5.

  • Permitted Use: You shall use only the variation(s) of the Fitbit Logo made available to you through the Fitbit Developer Portal. Use of the Fitbit Logo under this license is limited to 1) labeling data records fetched from the Fitbit Platform; and/or 2) identifying Fitbit as a service as a User has connected to their account via your Application.
  • You acknowledge and agree that these Terms do not include any right to use any Fitbit logo as part of any brand for the Developer Applications themselves, or as part of any brand(s) or trade name(s) or other designators for your business or non-tested products. You shall not use the Fitbit Logo in any other manner, including but not limited to use on promotional materials, standalone technical support or consulting services, or other goods or services without Fitbit's explicit written permission.

b. You may establish a link to the Fitbit website (www.fitbit.com), provided that the link does not state or imply that Fitbit sponsors or endorses you or your Application, any other website, or presents Fitbit in a false, misleading, defamatory or derogatory manner. This permission to link to the Fitbit website does not permit you to use any Fitbit materials or content, unless separately agreed to in these Terms or some other agreement with Fitbit.

c. The names of your Developer Applications, your business name, or any domain name, email address, keyword, or social media user name, shall not use or incorporate in any fashion (i) "Fitbit," (ii) "bit," (iii) names of Fitbit Products, whether registered or not, or (iv) any variation of (i)-(iii). Further, you shall not use the look and feel of any Fitbit materials, including without limitation any name, logo, icon, font, type style, or other element, to refer to your Developer Applications, your business, or in any other way, where such use would be confusingly similar to Fitbit trademarks or brand assets, whether registered or not, as determined in the sole and reasonable discretion of Fitbit.

d. You may make truthful, factual references to Fitbit in plain-text prose descriptions of your Developer Applications' features and benefits (including references to a Developer Application's interoperability with Fitbit). For example, the Fitbit trademark can only be used in the manner shown in one of the referential descriptions below:

  • "Designed for use with the Fitbit® platform"
  • "For use with Fitbit® [insert particular feature/product name]"
  • "Syncs with Fitbit® [insert particular feature/product name]"
  • "Designed to interact with Fitbit® data"

These phrases can appear near, but must be completely separate and apart from the name/logo of the Developer Application. The font size of phrases using the ͞Fitbit͟ mark should not be larger than the surrounding font, and should not appear more prominently than the name/logo of the Developer Application.

e. In all materials that contain an approved phrase as set out above, including product packaging, the following legend must also be placed in the ͞fine print͟ of such materials. The legend may be in a small type size, but must still be legible: "Fitbit is a registered trademark or trademark of Fitbit, Inc. in the United States and certain other countries. A list of Fitbit trademarks can be found at www.fitbit.com/legal/trademark-list. The _ [Insert name of the Developer Application] _ application is designed for use with the Fitbit platform. This application is not authored by Fitbit, and Fitbit does not service or warrant the functionality of this application."

6. Reservation of Rights and Ownership

The Fitbit Platform, including the Fitbit Web API and Fitbit Developer Tools, is licensed, not sold, and Fitbit reserves all rights not expressly granted to you by these Terms. The Terms in no way convey any ownership right to you in the Fitbit Platform, the Fitbit Web API, the Fitbit Developer Tools, the Fitbit Data, the User Data, or any Fitbit content accessed through your Developer Application(s).

7. Compliance with Laws, Representations, and Warranties

a. You are solely responsible for compliance with all laws applicable to Fitbit Data and User Data and agree to indemnify and hold Fitbit harmless for any uses contrary to such laws.

For each of the above uses, you must receive express consent from each User in order to use that User’s User Data for that purpose.

b. The Fitbit Platform is not designed or warranted for use in developing, or for incorporation into, products or services used in applications or environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, life support machines, surgically implanted devices, weapons systems, or other applications, devices, or systems in which the failure of the Fitbit Platform could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage (any of the above, a “High-Risk Activity”).

c. You further agree that your Developer Application will not:

  1. upload or otherwise transmit any content that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, disparaging, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable;
  2. harm minors in any way;
  3. impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, any Fitbit representative, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
  4. upload or otherwise transmit any content that you do not have a right to transmit under any law or under contractual relationships;
  5. upload or otherwise transmit any content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other proprietary rights of any person; and
  6. violate any applicable law or regulation, including, but not limited to, laws regarding the export of technical data.

8. Your Feedback

Any feedback, suggestions and ideas ("Feedback") that you provide to Fitbit regarding the Fitbit Platform,, the Fitbit website, Fitbit Products, or content or services related thereto may be treated by Fitbit as non-confidential, and Fitbit may, in its sole discretion, use the Feedback you provide to Fitbit in any way, including in future modifications of the Fitbit Platform, the Fitbit website, Fitbit Products, or content or services related thereto, and/or advertising and promotional materials relating thereto. You hereby grant Fitbit a perpetual, worldwide, fully transferable, irrevocable, royalty-free license to make, use, sell, offer for sale, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, and display the Feedback in any manner and for any purpose.

9. Termination

You may terminate any license granted to you hereunder at any time by ceasing your access to, development, and/or use of the Fitbit Platform and any use of the Fitbit Data. We may immediately suspend your access to the Fitbit Platform, the Fitbit Developer Tools, the Fitbit Web API, and the Fitbit Data, or, if necessary, terminate these Terms, in part or in their entirety, at any time for any reason. We may discontinue the availability of some or all of the Fitbit Platform at any time for any reason. We may also terminate any license provided to you hereunder at any time for any reason.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL SURVIVE AND APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THESE TERMS IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. IN ANY CASE, FITBIT’S AND ITS SUPPLIERS’ AND DISTRIBUTORS’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00) OR THE AGGREGATE FEES YOU PAID FOR ACCESS TO THE FITBIT WEB API OR FITBIT DEVELOPER TOOLS DURING THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY.

In any event, you will not settle any such claim without Fitbit's prior written consent. This section, and the Limitation of Liability section above, shall survive termination of these Terms.

14. Government Use

If you are part of an agency, department or other entity of the U.S. Government, the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Fitbit Platform are restricted in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations as applied to civilian agencies and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement as applied to military agencies. The Fitbit Web API and Fitbit Developer Tools constitute a "commercial item," "commercial computer software," and "commercial computer software documentation." In accordance with such provisions, any use of the Fitbit Web API or Fitbit Developer Tools by the U.S. Government shall be governed solely by these Terms.

15. Assignment

You shall not assign these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Fitbit. Any attempted assignment without such prior written consent shall be void. Fitbit may assign these Terms, and will provide you written notice of any such assignment.

These Terms do not create or imply any partnership, agency, or joint venture between the parties hereto.

These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to or application of conflicts of law rules or principles. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts of San Francisco County, California, USA and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

18. Waiver and Severability

These Terms constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior proposals, understandings, and communications between the parties with respect to that subject matter. No waiver by Fitbit of any covenant or right under these Terms will be effective unless such waiver is in writing and duly authorized by Fitbit.
