New data from advocacy group Privacy International has revealed that many period tracking apps share a lot of sensitive data with Facebook. Apps like MIA and Maya, among others, shared highly personal data regarding when users logged in, contraceptive use, sexual activity, and more.

Here is a link to their research:

Many other studies have shown much of this similar information, in addition to the fact that many of these apps may/are inaccurate and do not base their information on a scientific basis.

I am not advocating the use of these menstrual cycle tracking apps as a primary tool to prevent or achieve pregnancy.

List of 10 Free and Accurate Menstrual Cycle Tracking Apps According to a study I found:

1) Index
2) The next day
3) FemCal Lite
4) Fertility cycle
5) The flow
6) Free Cal Girl
7) Glow
8) Groove
9) Free iPeriod Period Tracker
10) It's a girl thing

Applications that do not share your information with Facebook according to Privacy International:

Period tracking by Leap Fitness Group; Flo Period Tracker by Flo Health, Inc.; Rules follow by Simple Design Ltd. ; and Tracking of the index period by Biowink

According to Privacy International, the following apps have been observed and have all notified Facebook when you open the app:
