What happened with Glow's data exposure

In 2016, Consumer Reports discovered an API vulnerability in Glow's systems that exposed personal data for approximately 25 million users. The California Attorney General subsequently took enforcement action against Glow. Eve shares this same backend infrastructure.

Does Glow Premium make Eve private

Glow Premium removes ads from Eve. It does not change where your data is stored (Glow's servers), whether an account is required (yes), or whether your data can be accessed via legal process (it can). Premium is an experience upgrade, not a privacy upgrade.

Why is Eve's data especially sensitive

Eve tracks sexual activity, partner information, and intimacy details alongside menstrual cycles. This combination of reproductive and sexual health data stored on third-party servers represents a uniquely sensitive data profile. In jurisdictions with reproductive health restrictions, this data could be legally compelled.

Eve by Glow Pricing: What You Pay and What It Costs You

Eve by Glow shares Glow's pricing structure and Glow's data exposure history. Here is what the free and premium tiers actually cost.

Eve's Place in the Glow Ecosystem Eve is one of several apps made by Glow Inc. The main Glow app targets fertility and pregnancy. Eve targets period and sex tracking with a more casual, community focused approach. The branding is different. The backend is the same. This matters because Glow's backend has a documented history. In 2016, Consumer Reports found an API vulnerability that exposed personal data for about 25 million users across Glow's apps. The California Attorney General took enforcement action. That vulnerability was in the same infrastructure Eve runs on. When you evaluate Eve's pricing, you are also evaluating Glow's security track record. The Free Tier Eve's free tier offers period tracking, sex and intimacy logging, daily health insights, and community forums. It works for basic tracking. It is also ad supported. Ad SDKs are embedded in the app to serve targeted ads. Eve tracks especially sensitive data: not just cycle dates but sexual activity, partner details, and intimacy patterns. That data sits alongside ad SDKs built to build profiles about you. Your sexual health tracking data and advertising code run in the same app. Glow Premium Glow Premium works across al
