How to Leave Period Calendar or Leap Fitness Period Tracker

How to export your data from Period Calendar and Period Tracker by Leap Fitness Group / GP Apps, delete your account, and switch to an on-device tracker.

Period Calendar by Leap Fitness Group (also known as GP Apps' Period Tracker) claims over 300 million users. That scale is exactly why the data architecture matters. These apps are cloud-based with no documented on-device storage option. Here's how to get your cycle data out and delete your account.

Why these apps warrant scrutiny

Period Calendar (Leap Fitness Group) and Period Tracker by GP Apps are among the most-downloaded period tracking apps on Android. Claims of 300 million or more combined users put them in a different volume category than most apps in this space.

High user counts are not inherently a privacy problem. But scale is exactly why the architecture matters. A cloud-based app with a large user base is a large data store. That data store can be subpoenaed, breached, acquired, or monetized. The value of the data increases with the number of users who contributed to it.

No FTC enforcement action has been confirmed against either developer. What is documented is that both apps are cloud-based and that neither has a documented on-device storage option. The data goes to a server. What happens to it there is governed by the developer's privacy policy and whatever legal obligations apply to them in their jurisdiction.

If you have been using either of these apps and are reconsidering after following the Flo settlement or the Premom FTC action, this guide covers the exit cleanly.

Step 1: Export your cycle data

The export process varies by app version and operating system.

For Period Calendar (Leap Fitness): Open the app, go to Settings (gear icon), and look for Backup & Restore or Data Export. Some versions let you save a backup file locally or to Google Drive. Export to local storage if that option exists, so your data does not go to a third-party cloud service.

For Period Tracker (GP Apps): The export path is similar. Settings, then Backup or Data. Save the file before taking any other steps.

If you cannot find an export option in-app, check the app developer's support page. Some versions of these apps include export functionality that is not prominently surfaced in the settings UI.

Step 2: Delete your account

In Settings, look for Account or Privacy, then Delete Account. If a delete option is not visible in the app, look for account management on the developer's website using the account email you registered with.

Uninstalling either app from your phone does not delete the account. The account and its data remain on the developer's servers until you explicitly delete the account.

Step 3: Submit a written data deletion request

For Leap Fitness apps, look for the privacy contact in the app's Play Store listing or privacy policy page. Try [email protected]. For GP Apps' Period Tracker, use the contact listed in the App Store or Play Store developer information.

In your email:

State your account email address
Request complete deletion of all personal data, including cycle logs, symptom data, and backup copies
If you are a California resident, invoke CCPA Section 1798.105

If the developer does not have a clear privacy contact, use the support contact listed in the app store listing. Note that you are making a data deletion request and keep a copy of the email.

Step 4: Verify the deletion

Wait 48 hours after completing step 2. Try to log in with your old credentials. An account-not-found or invalid-credentials error confirms deletion. If login still works, the deletion did not process, follow up with the developer's support contact directly.

Step 5: Choose your replacement

Both Period Calendar and Period Tracker are known for being free and simple. The replacements that match that use case while adding on-device storage:

Floriva is paid, local-first, and polished. Core cycle data stays on your phone. No account is needed for core tracking.

Euki is free and maintained by a reproductive health nonprofit. No account, no sync, no server. The interface is functional rather than flashy, which matches the experience of most users coming from these simpler apps.

Drip is free and open-source, available on Android. Community-maintained and on-device.

All three are compared in our private period tracker roundup.

Step 6: Transfer your history

Open whatever backup or export file you saved from Period Calendar or Period Tracker. Find your last 3-6 cycle start dates and enter them into your new tracker during setup. Most on-device trackers include a cycle history step in their onboarding flow.

Seeding 3-6 cycles gives the prediction algorithm enough to work with. After 2-3 new cycles are recorded in the app, predictions typically stabilize to baseline accuracy. Once that happens, delete the export file from your device.

Has Leap Fitness or GP Apps faced an enforcement action?
