As they should. I hope they burn all data and figure out a way to function going forwards without storing any data

    Or they could just store the data locally on the user's device and not transmit it back to a central server, such that the company never even has possession of the data nor any way to retrieve it? Like I get it would require a major rewrite if they weren't already doing this, but at least they'd be keeping their users safe while also having no way for authorities to gain any data.

    That requires that you trust the app vendor not to have some sort of back door, no?

    Not necessarily. If you trust the code running on your device then there is no backdoor they could install on a server that would break e2ee. They would have to backdoor the client where the keys are.

    True, unless it's open source and maybe self hosted.

    Edit: Nevermind, I'm right, I have no confidence in my own intelligence lol. If the key is on the phone and the phone stores the encrypted data to the server, that'll be secure

    Fwiw, this article says the name of the app is Clue. As a dude, I have no need of such an app, but as a security minded individual, will encourage my female friends to use it if needed and hope the developers continue to have security in mind.

    Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has blocked a bill in the state that would have banned law enforcement from enforcing search warrants for menstrual data stored in tracking apps on mobile phones or other electronic devices,

    And as a Virginian, I will once again vote against the enemy of security and privacy: Glenn Youngkin.

    There are foss offline period tracking apps you can reccommend instead. Best if they just don't have the data at all
