Is my period tracking app stealing my data?! w/ Stardust founder Rachel Moranis

**Warning as info changes we will do our best to record new episodes and update info**

On today’s episode, we chat with Rachel Moranis, the CEO of Stardust Period Tracker.

Rachel explains app data sharing, encryption, and everything we need to know about being able to track our cycles without our information being shared.

We won’t mention any names but… (throat-clearing cough that sounds suspiciously like the word “flo”) some apps sell your personal data for advertising reasons.

On the contrary, The Stardust app never sells your data, and it keeps you anonymous through encryption. It’s also female-owned, compared to some period tracking apps that are owned by men and large companies. 

Besides the fact that advertisers creepily want to know when we’re ovulating because marketing research has shown that people tend to buy more during those days, it also may be important to keep your health data inaccessible for legal reasons.

It’s crazy to think about, but there may be a day in the near future where someone’s cycle information could get subpoenaed in a court of law - potentially to try and incriminate someone in a state where abortion may soon become illegal. Hopefully not, but doesn’t it make sense to track your data in an encrypted and private way, just in case?
