Original Message New research from UK-based advocacy group Privacy International uncovered that some period-tracking apps were sharing sensitive data with Facebook. Tracking apps like MIA Fem and Maya shared information with the social network, including when the user logged contraception use, monthly periods, menstruation symptoms and more, the group said Monday.

Privacy International's research, reported earlier by BuzzFeed News, examined apps that it said had millions of downloads. The group found that Maya by Plackal Tech and MIA by Mobapp Development Limited, were sharing extensive amounts of sensitive user information with Facebook and other third parties.
