The big idea
AI period trackers learn your patterns by storing your most personal data — read the privacy policy before you log a single day.
Some examples
- Some apps sell aggregated cycle data to advertisers.
- Look for apps that store data on your device, not in the cloud.
- Ask AI: 'Summarize this period app's privacy policy in 5 bullets.'
Try it!
Open your period app's privacy policy. Paste it into AI and ask what data leaves your phone.
