First Period App Setup Privacy Card

A simple setup card for a first period app: what to log, what to skip, what privacy settings to check, and what to ask before adding old notes.

Use this card before you set up a first period app.

Start small. You can add more later.

This card does not promise privacy. It does not give medical advice.

For a paper option, use the first period tracking starter sheet.

Setup card

Step What to do Done Pick the method App, paper, or notes. Check account need See if the app works without sign up. Start with basics Add only dates, flow, pain, and school impact. Hide alerts Turn off lock screen previews. Check sharing Turn off partner, family, or social sharing. Check backup Decide if app data should sync. Skip extras Leave out fields you do not need. Plan help Save one question for a trusted adult or clinician.

What to log first

Use only the fields that help.

First day of bleeding. Last day of bleeding. Flow: light, medium, or heavy. Pain: 0 to 10. School impact. Supplies that worked. One question to ask.

Short notes are enough.

Examples:

Leaked at school. Cramps woke me up. Needed extra pads. Felt dizzy. Want to ask about clots.

If a symptom scares you, ask for help.

What to skip first

Skip fields that do not help your current goal.

Full diary entries. Photos. Exact location. Fertility windows. Sex notes. Partner sharing. Social sharing. Weight notes. Mood notes if they feel too private. Old history you do not need.

An app may offer many boxes. You do not have to fill them all.

Account check

Before you sign up, ask:

Does the app need my email? Does it need my real name? Does it need my birthday? Does it use a shared Apple or Google account? Does it sync to a company account? Can I delete my account later? Can I export only a short summary? Can I use it without ads?

If the answer is unclear, pause before adding private notes.

Phone privacy check

Check the phone, not only the app.

Use a passcode. Do not share the passcode. Hide notification previews. Check watch alerts. Check tablet alerts. Check car screen alerts. Check app widgets. Check photo backup. Check cloud backup.

For a deeper check, use the first period data privacy checklist.

Shared phone check

If someone else can open or manage the phone, use extra care.

Someone else knows the passcode. Someone else owns the phone. Someone else can see app downloads. Someone else can see backups. Someone else can see alerts. The phone is a school device. The phone uses a shared account.

If any line is true, read period tracking on a shared phone before you add notes.

Notification words

Use plain reminder text.

Plain reminder text:

Check notes. Log today. Health note.

Avoid alert text that says:

Period due. Fertile window. Ovulation. Pregnancy. Sex. Symptoms.

Lock screens are easy to see.

Export and portal check

Do not send a full export by habit.

Ask:

Who needs this? What question am I trying to answer? Can I send a short summary first? Does the export include private notes? Does it include prediction labels? Where will the file save? Who can open that folder? Will a portal alert go to a shared email?

Use the first period doctor question list to make a short visit note.

First app note

Copy this if you want a low detail note.

Parent and teen setup rule

Pick one rule before setup.

Topic My rule Who knows the app passcode What a parent can see What stays private What to share if pain is bad What to share if school is hard What to do before exports

For a script, use the parent teen period app boundary script.

Final check

I logged only what I need. I hid lock screen previews. I checked shared accounts. I checked backups. I skipped extra fields. I know where screenshots save. I know what exports include. I saved one question to ask.

Floriva can keep short notes on your device.

It cannot control shared phones, screenshots, backups, portals, family accounts, or school devices.
