Why does data export matter

Data export determines whether you can leave an app without losing your cycle history. Apps that make export difficult or incomplete create lock-in. Your cycle data represents months or years of daily tracking. Losing it means starting over.

What is a GDPR data request

The process typically involves submitting a request through the app or by email and waiting for the company to compile and deliver your data.

No. Floriva stores all data on your device. There is no server holding your data, so there is no company to request it from. You already have your data. Export is a local operation that produces files you can read, share with a doctor, or import elsewhere.

Floriva: Your Data Was Never Anywhere Else Floriva's data export is fundamentally different from the others in this comparison because the data is already on your device.

The output is in CSV or JSON format, both standard formats readable by spreadsheets, other apps, and custom tools. The export includes your complete tracking history: cycle dates, symptoms, temperatures, notes, everything you logged. Because the data lives locally, you can also access the underlying files directly. Your cycle history exists as files on your phone, not as rows in a remote database controlled by someone else.
