Understanding the Scores

Category	Score
Security	38/100
Privacy	25/100
Data Security	15/100
Network Security	85/100
Code Safety	62/100
Data Collection	40/100
Data Sharing	20/100
User Control	30/100

Security (38/100): The app's protection of sensitive data falls short in key areas, pulling the overall security score down significantly.

Privacy (25/100): Broad data collection paired with extensive third-party sharing and limited user control result in a low privacy score.

Data Security (15/100): How personal health information is stored and protected is a significant factor in the low overall score.

Network Security (85/100): Communications between the app and its servers are generally well protected in transit.

Code Safety (62/100): The app's code structure is reasonably sound, though some areas could be strengthened.

Data Collection (40/100): The app collects a wide range of data about users and their health habits.

Data Sharing (20/100): User data is distributed to multiple external parties with limited transparency about how it is used.

User Control (30/100): Users have very limited ability to manage what is collected, opt out of tracking, or request data deletion from within the app.

Positive Security Features

• No standout security practices were identified in this version of the app.

Areas for Improvement

• How sensitive personal health data is stored and protected needs significant strengthening to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
• Behavioral data is shared with multiple analytics providers. Providing users with clear, accessible controls to limit or opt out of this sharing would better respect user privacy.
• Users currently have little say in what data is collected or how it is used. Meaningful in-app privacy controls, especially for health-related data, would give users more control.
