A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Any app that you are using to track your medical information is 100% saving that data and selling it off. I don't know why people are shocked to discover this.
Not if your app is open-source, like from F-droid.
My GF uses Flo. Can you elaborate why it is spyware? Who is spying? What data are being collected?
Edit: nvm, I was too stupid to see the hidden drop down text
Mensinator is also FOSS! Easy convenient IU super fast. Drip is slower more UI clunky.
I have a TempDrop and use it for BBT tracking. It's got an app to do it. I assume this isnt private - how bad is it?
