Why does a period tracking app even need to store the data anywhere other than locally?

Sometimes people get new phones 🤷‍♀️

Then that data should be stored encrypted, salted, hashed, smashed, mashed, and passed so that only the person who is moving phones can open it

Not just for being made to give it over but also like leaks n shit

Sure, personally I think we should do that for all personal data. It's a bit depressing that period trackers are being targeted in this way though.
