2️⃣ Opportunities need to be created for teens, young adults, and adults to access info on the risks of sharing menstrual tracking data. 💡Schools are well positioned to educate on how to find reliable health info online, how to do so safely and privately, and the risks of health data being shared.

3️⃣ Apps owned and operated by public health bodies is one way to address questions of data commodification. 💡@ppfa.org have their own version of a cycle tracking app. An @nhs.uk tracking app could engender more trust among users and allow researchers to have input, improving women's health outcomes.

4️⃣ Policymakers should work towards better protection for self-tracking data from period tracking, fertility, and pregnancy tracking apps. 💡 In the US, menstrual tracking data could be afforded similar protection to medical data and, in the UK and EU, existing regulations could be better enforced.
