Period Tracking App Privacy Checklist

Reproductive health data deserves its own scrutiny.

Reproductive health data — period, cycle, and fertility tracking — has become recognized as one of the most sensitive categories of personal data a consumer app can collect, given its potential legal and personal implications if it reaches an advertiser, data broker, or unintended third party. This checklist audits a specific tracking app's actual privacy practices: whether data is shared with advertising networks, whether a local-only storage mode is available and in use, whether an account with identifying information is actually required, and whether genuine data export and deletion are actually possible, not just visually hidden in the interface.
