BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Alphabet unit Google has offered not to use fitness tracker company Fitbit’s health data to help it target ads in a bid to address EU antitrust concerns about the $2.1 billion deal, the U.S. tech company said late on Monday.
“This deal is about devices, not data,” Google said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
Reuters reported on July 9 that such a data pledge may likely help Google secure EU approval for the deal.
