With the stories about data from period tracking apps being shared with law enforcement, I was wondering if there was a self hosted alternative I could host for my daughter. My searches so far have not returned any good results. Thanks!
Ah, based on the original wording, I thought this was something that was already happening. As you said, absolutely better to be safe than sorry. Do everything you can to avoid being put in a situation where you need to figure out if this will hold up in court. I want to believe it wont, but who tf knows with how this world is these days.
I read about that case, but if I am understanding that correctly, in those messages someone admitted to having an abortion. Having evidence of something happening and not having evidence of something not happening (e.g. a gap in period tracking data) are pretty different in the courtroom. I was specifically asking about subpoenaing period tracking data, citing a gap in the data as evidence of anything. If that held up in court, I would lose any remaining faith that I had in whatever government this happened under, because from a purely logical point of view, lack of data is not evidence of anything.
Police prefer that criminal cases are resolved by compelling a confession. If a woman is told by the police they have her period data, most people would crack in that situation. Whether it holds up in court is mostly irrelevant.
It should go without saying, but never talk to police and if you’re being interviewed, insist on invoking your 6th amendment right to an attorney and your 5th amendment right to remain silent. And don’t engage with anything the police say.
Fair enough. I guess I’m thinking from a purely logical proof standpoint. I am a programmer, so that tends to be how I think. But yeah, there are way more variables beyond that.

A US state has already subpoenaed Facebook for Messenger texts to prove an abortion case. It’s not speculative.
