Period Apps Allegedly Breach Privacy
A recent review of privacy practices of menstrual tracking apps reveals significant variation in how they handle personal health data. Some apps monitor and store sensitive information such as menstrual cycles, symptoms, and use of contraception, while others collect technical data like device identifiers and send it to advertising and analytics companies to create profiles or serve targeted ads. Data may be stored locally on the phone or on external servers, increasing the risks of breaches or legal requests. Therefore, it is essential for users to read privacy policies, understand what data is collected, who can access it, and how to stop sharing or delete their data before relying on any menstrual tracking app.
