    Quick Verdict

    Best for: Cycle tracking with standard app analytics

    Not For: You prefer your health data stays off ad networks

    What It Means For You

    Cycle and health data is handled by an app connected to Facebook, AppsFlyer, and Firebase, meaning usage patterns can reach advertising and attribution networks. Push notifications are managed by OneSignal, a third-party service. The app provides reasonable account controls, but user activity is shared across several external platforms.

    Method and Limitations

    Static analysis only. CITT reviewed the code of this build without running the app, so runtime behavior was not observed. The findings below describe the analyzed build and may not reflect server-side controls or later versions. CITT makes no determination about compliance with any law or platform policy; it reports what the artifacts contain and cites the published guidance so a reader can compare.

    • Facebook SDK - In-app behavior and device information are shared with Facebook for advertising and audience targeting purposes.
    • AppsFlyer - Install source and in-app activity are shared with an attribution network to measure ad campaign performance.
    • Firebase - Usage analytics and crash information are sent to Google Firebase.
    • OneSignal - The device push notification identifier is shared with OneSignal to deliver notifications.
    • Intercom - Customer support interactions are handled by Intercom, a third-party service.

    Positive Security Features

    • Account management controls give users reasonable ability to manage their data and account.
    • Network communications use current transport security practices for data in transit.

    Areas for Improvement

    • How health data is stored on the device could be strengthened to better protect cycle information if the phone is accessed by someone else.
    • Some network connections could benefit from additional protections to further reduce the risk of data being read in transit.
    • User health and behavioral data reaches multiple advertising and attribution platforms. Reducing that sharing scope would better protect user privacy.
