Google’s Fitbit deal could avoid EU antitrust probe by agreeing not to use health data for ads

As of this writing, the deal has yet to go through, courtesy of all the usual regulatory scrutiny that occurs any time one large company buys another.

Report: Alphabet Must Offer Concessions for Fitbit Acquisition to Win EU Approval
The European Union (EU) expects concessions before its regulator allows Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL) unit Google to acquire Fitbit (NYSE: FIT). According to a report from Reuters citing "people familiar with the matter," the U.S. tech giant will have to give up something in order for the deal to clear the European Commission's (EC) antitrust review process. One possible solution is that Google concretely promises that it will not misuse Fitbit user data by culling it to target advertising, the article's sources said.

Reuters VideosGoogle has way to dodge EU Fitbit probe - sources
Google can avoid an EU probe of its planned takeover of Fitbit. Reuters sources say Brussels would be satisfied with a pledge not to use Fitbit’s health data to target ads. The 2.1 billion dollar bid was announced last November. It would allow Google to take on Apple, Samsung and others in the fitness tracking and smartwatch market. But the plan has drawn heavy criticism from privacy advocates. They worry what Google would do with access to Fitbit’s trove of personal health data. Concerns too about competition. The European Commission is examining whether the takeover would cement Google’s dominance of online advertising. Sources say it’s set to trigger a four-month probe of the deal if Google doesn’t offer concessions by Monday (July 13). But they say the search giant could avert that by offering a binding pledge not to use health data for advertising. Google has dismissed all the concerns. It says the deal is about devices, not data, and will only boost competition. The smart wearables market is currently dominated by Apple, which has an almost 30 percent market share.

Google Could Escape EU Antitrust Probe With A Promise Not To Use Fitbit Data For Ads
Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) subsidiary Google LLC may be able to ward off an antitrust investigation by the European Union into its acquisition of Fitbit Inc (NYSE: FIT) by promising not to use the smartwatch maker's health data to run targeted advertisements, Reuters reported Thursday. What Happened Google had agreed to purchase Fitbit for $2.1 billion, or $7.35 per share in cash, last November. The deal has been under fire from activists over privacy and anti-competition concerns.According to Reuters, Google may lessen fears of its competitors and privacy activists by issuing a binding pledge to the EU authorities, similar to the one it issued last year -- that is, not to use Fitbit's health data for its advertising service.The EU is scheduled to decide on the deal by July 20, and Google must offer any concessions by July 13, Reuters noted.Why It Matters If Google fails to provide such a pledge, it will face a four-month investigation at the end of the EU's preliminary review. The deal will allow Google to better compete with Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL), Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (OTC: SSNLF), Huawei, and Xiaomi Corp (OTC: XIACF), all makers of smartwatches and fitness trackers. According to Reuters, Fitbit's share of the market stands at 3%, while the leader in the segment is Apple, with a 29.3% market share. Price Action On Thursday, Alphabet's Class A and C shares closed 1% higher at $1,518.66 and $1,510.99, respectively.Fitbit shares traded 1.34% higher at $6.80 in the after-hours session the same day, after closing the regular session 7.70% higher at $6.71.See more from Benzinga * Google Abandons Plans To Offer Its Cloud Initiative In China * Verizon's Decision To Halt Facebook Advertising Was Not Political, Says CEO * Hong Kong National Security Law Fallout: US Tech Companies To Decline Law Enforcement Requests(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.
