FTC accuses fertility tracking app with sharing data with China, Google

By Vaughn Cockayne - The Washington Times - Thursday, May 18, 2023

A complaint by the Federal Trade Commission accuses popular fertility tracking app Premom of illegally sharing private data.

In the complaint, the agency says the app, developed by Easy Healthcare, has been sharing private information with Google and Chinese analytic companies since 2018. Easy Healthcare shared data about users’ reproductive health, pregnancy status and other health-related information that could identify users.

The sharing of individual users’ private information violates the company’s own privacy policy, according to the FTC. The policy promised to share only data that could not be used to identify an individual user.
