Fertility App Privacy

Meaning

Fertility App Privacy denotes the specific set of data protection and security practices designed to safeguard the highly sensitive personal health information collected by mobile applications used for tracking menstrual cycles, ovulation, and reproductive health. This data often includes intimate details about sexual activity, mood, basal body temperature, and hormonal symptoms. The privacy concern is heightened because this information is typically outside the protection of traditional healthcare regulations like HIPAA and can be potentially used for purposes such as employment or insurance discrimination.
