VANCOUVER - A British Columbia Supreme Court judge says a class-action lawsuit can move forward over alleged privacy breaches against a company that made an app to track users’ menstrual and fertility cycles. The ruling published online Friday says the action against Flo Health Inc. alleges the company shared users’ highly personal health information with third-parties, including Facebook, Google and other companies.
Come on, it is the 21st century.
Nobody should assume any other reason to create such an app than to harvest and sell personal medical data.

I am glad I finally got my wife use this Foss alternative instated of some garbage that sends your data to a proprietary server.
Do you know how well it works? Maybe I could suggest it to my girlfriend if she would be interested.
The App (Drip) gives you after about 3 months acurate times on when the period should start. If you want accurate fertility tracking your girlfriend will have to measure her basal temperature (ar best daily) and either look out for changing cervical mucus or change in cervix opening/hardness.
The existence of this app should be spread far and wide for every woman to use, versus the privacy invading ones that are out there.
