Most reproductive health apps have done little to prepare for what to do if law enforcement comes looking for user information, a new survey finds.
, found that only one of 25 apps that track users’ periods, their pregnancies or their fitness have clearly written policies that explain the specific scenarios in which they’d turn over user data.
Jen Caltrider, who led the Mozilla study, said the other 24 apps either relied on vague assurances or wouldn’t clarify their policies. In known cases that relied on digital evidence to prove abortion-related crimes, prosecutors tended to rely on unencrypted conversations to prove that suspects had conveyed to others that they had sought out and had abortions., which was launched before Roe was overturned and is still ongoing, prosecutors acquired unencrypted Facebook messages in which a woman is alleged to have messaged her then-underage daughter about how to take pills for a medical abortion.
Eva Galperin, the director of cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit organization that advocates for digital rights, said that while protecting communications is the most urgent privacy need for people who seek abortions, apps that track reproductive health should also start taking better care of users’ data.
