I recently installed a variety of period and fertility tracking apps with very loose privacy policies (running them through a US VPN) and set up reasonable fake profiles I can feed with junk, shit data (because: fuck RvW being overturned and it's one little thing I can do). Anyway. My point.

HOW fucking invasive ARE these things? So far, one in particular has asked me for updates (read: data mining me) three times so far today. Two app notifications and an email.
