Flo App Alternative: 7 Period Trackers That Don't Sell Your Data

Why Users Are Leaving Flo

The FTC took enforcement action against Flo Health in January 2021 after finding the company shared user health data — including period dates, pregnancy status, and detailed symptom information — with Facebook, Google, and third-party analytics firms. The data was shared through embedded software development kits (SDKs) without user consent, despite Flo’s stated privacy commitments.

In September 2025, a combined $59.5M class action settlement resolved claims by millions of Flo users. On August 1, 2025, a jury separately found Meta liable for accessing user data from the Flo app.

This is not a policy dispute — it is a documented, FTC-sanctioned, jury-confirmed pattern of sharing intimate health data with advertising infrastructure.

The Architecture Problem

Flo’s Anonymous Mode, launched after the FTC enforcement action, places privacy behind a paywall. But the underlying problem is architectural, not policy-based: Flo stores your data on its servers. Whatever policy Flo adopts can be changed, pressured by law enforcement, or overridden by a court order.

The only way to guarantee data cannot be subpoenaed is to ensure the data never reaches a centralized server.

How Floriva Compares

Floriva is built on the architectural guarantee that Flo’s Anonymous Mode simulates: your data stays on your device. We cannot sell what we don’t have, and law enforcement cannot subpoena what doesn’t exist on our servers.
