Ida Tin on data privacy and hidden costs in health apps, women building technology and techbros

With Ida Tin (co-founder of menstrual health app Clue), we’ll explore the intersection of technology and the female body. How does the tech industry increasingly shape our most personal experiences?

In today’s digital age, technology deeply influences our understanding and control of the female body. From period-tracking apps to wearable devices, these tools promise empowerment but often come with hidden costs, such as data collection that fuels surveillance practices and commercial exploitation. Few understand these dynamics better than Ida Tin, the co-founder of Clue, a pioneering app that redefined how women track and manage their reproductive health.

Beyond her role in shaping femtech, Tin has been at the forefront of conversations about the ethical responsibilities of tech companies in handling sensitive health data. Her work raises critical questions about the balance between innovation and privacy, and how technology impacts autonomy over our own bodies.

In the weekend of International Women’s Day (7 March – 8 March), De Balie invites leading thinkers, creators, and entrepreneurs to reflect on contemporary feminism. In a world where radical right-wing politicians and tech bros seem to be joining forces, what challenges do women face?
