Who owns my Ovia data after the Labcorp acquisition?

Ovia Health was acquired by Labcorp in 2021. Labcorp is one of the largest clinical diagnostics companies in the United States. Your fertility and cycle data, including ovulation tracking, pregnancy history, and health notes, is now held within Labcorp's data infrastructure. The acquisition did not automatically transfer data to a new use, but it changed who controls it and under what commercial interests.

Will I lose my Ovia cycle history when I switch apps?

Not if you export before deleting. Ovia's data export is available through Settings, then Privacy, then Download My Data. The export includes cycle logs, symptom entries, and fertility tracking data. Download and save it before deleting the account. Enter your last 3-6 cycle start dates into your new tracker during setup.

Does deleting Ovia from my phone delete my data?

No. Uninstalling removes the app but leaves your account and all data on Ovia's (now Labcorp's) servers. Account deletion is the separate step required to begin removing your data. After deleting the account, submit a formal deletion request to privacy@oviahealth.com citing CCPA Section 1798.105 if you are a California resident.

How long does switching from Ovia take?

The export request, account deletion, and new tracker setup take 30-60 minutes. Export first, wait for the download link before deleting the account. Enter your cycle history into the new app during setup. Most trackers calibrate predictions within 2-3 recorded cycles.

Labcorp is not a tech startup. It is one of the largest clinical diagnostics companies in the United States, running laboratory testing for millions of patients and working directly with healthcare payers and employers. The acquisition did not automatically mean your data was sold or misused. But it changed who holds the data and what interests they have. A healthcare diagnostics company acquiring a consumer fertility app is not acquiring it for the interface. The data is the asset.
