I had no idea, but then again I'd never given the Fitbit issue a moment's thought until I read the post on it by Joan Cox !

I've thought about that with ancestry.com, 23andMe, etc. People are voluntarily creating a database of information. Who knows how it may be used in the future and by whom?

Roy,
One more case of what might be good for you, might be bad for you.

I have a fitbit that doesn't work, but the company is replacing it for free, because it had a year warranty on it. The fitbit motivated me to exercise more. While walking I would check my steps and constantly strive to get to the next 1000 step level.
This is new information for me, but I have nothing to hide.

I did have an understanding about it, but only because of my 5 years in the HIPAA enforcement world at a hospital. Interesting fact, HIPAA stays with you even after your death!
There is actually a court case going on that I read about earlier this week where FitBit is being subpeonad for their data for a user as part of his personal injury claim. A personal trainer is suing claiming after his accident his activity levels have not been able to return to normal. A third party is reviewing the data and comparing it to a baseline for him and for trainers in his age group.

Interesting, Roy. I did not know but can see how this would fall outside the Privacy Act. Data collection is a huge business and as Jill Murty, Realtor - Orange County, CA said, who knows how it will be used in the future.
