DALLAS -- A new study shows many period and fertility tracking apps aren’t clear about what user data they would share with law enforcement, raising concerns the information could be used to prosecute people in states where abortion is banned.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion, several states, including Texas, have implemented near-total bans on abortion.
The study, released Wednesday by the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation, found that 18 of 25 popular period and pregnancy tracking apps and wearable devices raised privacy concerns.
