Don't be on any ovulation tracker app OR site or anything that's not pen and paper. It's easy enough.

@VeroniqueB99 It's one thing to stay private, and it's important. I kept my period data offline on a drive I would unplug when I plugged (yes, cables) to the internet.

There are both potentially malicious and helpful intents behind data collection, of any kind. Poisoning the well of data doesn't help the helpful, and given so many users aren't wary, it doesn't hamper the malicious.

IMO, we all just need to be aware of who has our data, demand transparency. That's already too big an ask.

@janisf I think I'm much much MUCH more leery than you are... I simply will not be part of this. Especially for this. The ROI just isn't there and there are too many examples to me (23me comes to mind) where as an after the fact oopsy we didn't mean it would've not been ok with me). Each person sees things the way they want, as long as they know and have as much info as the can. If they don't care, more power to them.

@VeroniqueB99 You're the first person who's indicated that my physical disconection and RAM clearing practice is less paranoid than they are. :)

Apps v. HIPPA.... OMFG, we're buring the planet running servers that hold data no one will use.

My point is adding salt to the sugar in the HomeEc kitchens isn't going to make schools take the class off the curriculum. IMO, we need to be keeping our own kitchens while teaching kids how

@janisf

🤣 I had trust issues before but then I worked as an IT Consultant at the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission)... let me tell you now I don't trust ANYONE. 🤣😱

Yep that we are and we ain't seen anything yet...🙄

But yeah I get your point...
