Should I read the whole policy?

You can, but start with search terms. Most people get a better answer by reading the risky sections closely.

What if the policy says data is anonymized?

Ask what fields are removed and who still receives the data. Do not treat that word as a full privacy promise.

Can Floriva skip this policy check?

No. Floriva should pass the same policy test as any other app. Trust comes from clear limits, not brand claims.

Period App Privacy Policy Worksheet

A plain-language worksheet for reading a period app privacy policy, spotting risky sharing terms, and deciding what to ask before you trust the app.

A period app privacy policy can look calm and still give the company wide room to share data. You do not need to be a lawyer to read the risky parts.

Use this worksheet before you add health data to a new app. You can also use it on an app you already use.

1. Fill in the app facts

Field Your notes App name Company name Policy URL Policy date Account required Cloud sync default Ads in app Paid plan

If the app has no clear policy link, mark that as a concern.

2. Search these words

Open the policy in a browser. Use Find.

share sell disclose partner service provider advertising marketing analytics location health reproductive law enforcement subpoena delete retain de identified aggregate

Copy the full sentence around each match.

Word found What the policy says Plain meaning Pass, concern, or fail share advertising analytics location delete retain

3. Check the data list

Mark every type the policy says the app may collect.

Period dates. Symptoms. Sex or intimacy logs. Pregnancy status. Fertility goals. Notes or journal text. Email address. Phone number. Device ID. Advertising ID. Location. App use data. Purchase data.

Then ask: does the app need this data for cycle tracking?

4. Check sharing terms

Give one mark for each line.

Policy line Pass Concern Fail Names each service provider Says health data is not used for ads Says data is not sold Explains analytics data Explains location data Explains law enforcement requests Explains deletion and retention

Use "concern" when the policy uses broad words like partners, business purposes, or improve our services without naming the data.

5. Ask these questions

If the policy is unclear, send this to support or privacy contact.

text Subject: Privacy policy questions about health data

Hello,

I am reviewing your privacy policy before I enter period or health data.

Can you answer these questions?

1. Do you share period, symptom, fertility, pregnancy, or sex log data with advertisers? 2. Do you share that data with analytics vendors? 3. Do you sell or share device IDs, advertising IDs, or location data? 4. Can your staff or servers read my period data? 5. What data is kept after account deletion? 6. How long do backups keep deleted account data? 7. Do you require a warrant, subpoena, or other legal order before sharing user data with law enforcement?

Please answer in plain terms and link to the policy section that applies.

Thank you, your name

Result What to do Mostly pass The policy gives clear limits. Still check app settings and phone permissions. Many concerns Do not add sensitive notes yet. Ask questions first. Any fail on ads, location, or deletion Consider a lower data app or paper tracking. No reply from company Treat unclear data use as a concern.

This is where Floriva may be a fit if you want a lower data setup. Still check the policy, export path, and account rules. A privacy first claim only matters if the product behavior matches it.
