Period-tracking apps were sharing sensitive data to Facebook, including when users last had sex

can it tell if a partner was involved ?

[ChildOfThe60s]

I am stunned, truly stunned. LOL

Users of Google applications should have no expectations of privacy.

Fits in nicely with this article: “Joker’ malware was hidden on dozens of Android apps”

The article gives a list of apps affected and mentions that it’s probably Chinese. It doesn’t seem to have many infections in the US or Canada, with most of them in the EU and Asia.

Reason number Zillion why I won’t ever have a Siri or Alexis in my home if it is my decision.

Meanwhile, these same folks posted a status update: “Just had period sex. Going out for Taco Bell.”

Maybe not use online apps for sex / genitalia info tracking.

I’ve never had Facebook, but FB obviously has my email & phone number. It’s obvious from the spam mail & texts I receive.

The story says there were five apps but only two are named. Apparently, these are apps for women to document when they’ve had their menstrual period and other info women choose to share with the app.

I don’t understand why the other three apps aren’t named. Can’t journalists do their jobs anymore?

I suppose one way to fight back is for everyone to download the apps and then lie like crazy about their sexual history. Garbage in, garbage out.

[rfp1234]

Who’d want to use such apps? Caveat emptor.

[immadashell]

incredibly specific and sensitive information was also passed along.

The reason I have no apps like this is because I have no desire to share ANY information with the outside world. Privacy is a very valuable and scarce commodity.

[Tax-chick]

Astounding. I’ll bet all the information from my husband’s fitness beeber is out there for anyone to grab, too.

On the other hand the PMS alert texts were an outstanding feature.
