If anyone is in need of a more secure option in these dystopian times: drip keeps all your data on your phone. You can export the data, so you can keep the tracked data when changing phones. I only use it for tracking my cycle and sometimes symptoms though, so I can’t say much about using it for birth control.

Best to write your data down. Do not put on device or online.

I mean, the app offers encryption of the data, so you’d have to enter a password. And you can encrypt your phone as well. If it gets to a point where you are forced to enter the password, a piece of paper in your drawer is probably not much safer.
It’s really beyond fucked up that this is something people have to think about.

Any woman on here, please consider bluemoon. My wife is tech illiterate but loves the app.

I can recommend Mensinator. It includes logging and calculated ovulation day too. Something I could not see in bluemoon screenshots.

Can I get a reminder about the apps that WILL share with the govt so I can help fuck with their data?
- jmcs ( @jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de ) 19•15 days ago
All US-based apps and all the apps that store their data in US-owned cloud providers at very least.
- SecureTaco ( @SecureTaco@lemmy.asc6.org ) English4•15 days ago
US based apps that’s are end-to-end encrypted where you control the private keys cannot physically share as they won’t have access. Even if it’s in their cloud.

If the nice people at the FBI show up to your door with a warrant from a secret court set up by Trump show up to your office telling you either implement a backdoor in your app or everyone goes to jail forever, what do you do?

the devs don’t even need to know about it. google has the app signing keys, they can make a change anytime they want. read my reply to their comment
- ReversalHatchery ( @ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org ) English8•15 days ago
until they get forced to issue an update that steals your key.
assuming you installed the app from google play.
since for a few years now google holds the signing keys that are used for verifying that the app has not been tampered with, the app developer is not even needed for this. google can make the changes, sign the app with the key they already have, and push an update to your phone.

I know it’s not feasible, but if a lot of males would just use the apps that are know to report to US authorities and input data, that most likely will raise a alarms, they would have to deal with heaps of false-positives and it would obscure the real data.
- Hawk ( @Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English3•15 days ago
Wouldn’t that just break the app?
I’m just assuming they use user data to improve the health data shown, if people are going to fill it up with bogus data, it just destroys whatever use this app has for women.
- ArcaneSlime ( @ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 10•14 days ago
They shouldn’t be collecting it in the first place, store the logs locally (and encrypted tbh) on the user’s device.

I’m glad this article is about Clue. I hope I can continue to trust them.
I’ve been using Clue for years and it’s nicely trans-friendly and not-pink. When I was first looking for a period app, many options were focused on fertility–either seeking or avoiding pregnancy–which rubbed me the wrong way.

What happened to nothing to hide nothing to fear?

What happened to the “nothing to hide” argument? It was eviscerated. It is not a good argument.
This is awesome, thank you for your service! Goddamn, the premises around that are just… sad.
- EmperorHenry ( @EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de ) English3•13 days ago
But it will still disclose that data to advertising companies which WILL give it to the authorities for a nominal fee
Also, why does the app keep that data in a centralized location where it can be scooped up like that?
And more importantly, people have known that everything is spyware since the Snowden leaks, why the hell would you ever give that kind of data to an app on your phone? Even if the app was totally E2EE and private, other things on your phone do all kinds of spying
