Bullish on India opportunity, will protect user data: Fitbit CEO James Park

NEW DELHI: US smart wearables brand Fitbit, which is soon to be acquired by Alphabet Inc’s Google, finds the India market “incredibly attractive” with the rapidly growing focus on health and wellness, and has underlined its commitment to protect user data and share it only with “explicit” consent.

In his first ever media interaction in Asia, Fitbit co-founder and CEO James Park told ET that while data of Indians is not stored locally, it’s subject to tight privacy and data security safeguards that it applies to data of all its global users.
