Researchers reviewed 25 various maternity apps and found 18 of them were pretty vague about how they handle pregnancy or period data.
That’s compared to some of Sprout’s other baby care and period tracking apps that have much better defined policies.A representative for Sprout told Gizmodo in an email that the app’s privacy policy is displayed when the app is loaded for the first time, and is available on the company’s. The company further said that any data requests would need to be submitted to Apple or Google since “all personal data is only stored on the user’s iCloud or Google Drive account only.
On the flip side, researchers tried to include apps that others could aspire to. They proposed users look at the nonprofit Women Help Woman International Foundation’s Euki app because it claims it stores user data locally on devices. Researchers also noted Euki allows users to show fake data in case they’re coerced to open the app.
