How long does Flo keep my data after I delete my account

Flo's privacy policy states that backups may retain deleted account data for up to 90 days. Data that Flo shared with third parties before your account deletion is outside Flo's control. Data shared with Facebook, Google, or Flurry before the FTC enforcement action cannot be retrieved from those companies by deleting your Flo account.

Will I lose my period predictions when I switch to a new tracker

The new tracker will need a few cycles to calibrate its predictions. Enter your last 3-6 cycle start dates from your exported Flo data when setting up the new app. After 2-3 cycles with the new tracker, predictions are usually accurate. The initial period before calibration is the main inconvenience of switching.

Does Flo delete data in states with different privacy laws

Flo processes account deletion requests for users regardless of jurisdiction, though the legal requirements vary. GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California) create enforceable rights to deletion. Users outside those jurisdictions may have fewer legal levers if Flo does not honor a deletion request, but Flo's standard practice is to process these requests.

Can I just use Anonymous Mode instead of deleting

Anonymous Mode is a paid feature that limits how Flo links your data to your identity within their systems. It does not delete your existing data and does not prevent court-ordered disclosure. If you want your data removed from Flo's servers, account deletion is the only mechanism. Anonymous Mode and account deletion serve different purposes.

How to Delete Your Flo Account and Keep Your Cycle Data

Step-by-step: export your Flo data, delete your account (not just uninstall), and set up a replacement tracker with your cycle history intact.

Why Uninstalling Is Not Enough When you uninstall an app, you remove it from your device. Your account on the company's servers remains intact. Your cycle history, symptom logs, health data, and account information continue to exist on Flo's servers exactly as they did before. This is a common point of confusion. The app leaving your phone feels like a clean break. It is not. If Flo receives a subpoena for your data six months after you uninstalled the app, and you did not delete your account, they have your complete data to produce. Account deletion is the request that initiates data removal from Flo's active systems. It requires an explicit step beyond uninstalling. Step 1: Export Your Data First Before you delete anything, get your data out. Go to Flo, Settings, Privacy, Request My Data. Flo will process this request and email you a download link, typically within a few days. The export file contains your cycle history, symptom logs, and account information. Save this file somewhere accessible. You will use it as a reference when setting up your new tracker, specifically your recent cycle start dates. If Flo does not respond to your data export request, you have grounds to follo
