Cycle apps selling data?
Cycle apps sell intimate data routinely. Privacy breaches expose.
1. The problem
Menstruators trust cycle apps selling intimate data routinely. Breaches expose deeply personal patterns. Predictions require cloud accounts. Deletions never complete truly. The hardest part is private accuracy simply. An app might phone home silently. That uncertainty makes it hard to track safely.
“Data selling scares yearly here. I need on-device tracking with granular sharing.”
2. What exists
Clue, Flo and paper calendars track cycles, while privacy suffers. Apps monetize data routinely. A paper might lack predictions. There is little help with on-device intelligence plus selective sharing for trackers.
3. The solution
The solution could be a private-first cycle engine. It could store everything on-device only. It could predict locally accurately. Sharing could stay granular consensual. The goal would be insights owned, never sold.
