But advocacy groups are concerned that Google might not stick to this promise in the long term. Critics of the deal have pointed to how Google broke a similar promise when it acquired the online advertising company DoubleClick in 2007.

"Regulators must assume that Google will in practice utilise the entirety of Fitbit's currently independent unique, highly sensitive data set in combination with its own, particularly as this could increase its profits, or they must impose strict and enforceable limitations on data use," reads the letter.
