Privacy and Security
Despite handling volumes of personal health data, most reproductive health tracking apps have opaque privacy protection policies and no clear policy on data-sharing practices with law enforcement.

Eighteen out of 25 reproductive health apps and wearable devices that Mozilla investigated for privacy and security practices received a *Privacy Not Included warning label. These findings raise concerns in the post-Roe landscape that data could be used by authorities to determine if users are pregnant, seeking abortion information or services, or crossing state lines to obtain an abortion.
