We won’t let fear keep us from understanding our bodies
Health knowledge is power. And privacy makes that power possible.
It’s been three years since the Dobbs decision and the overturning of Roe v Wade. In that time, the fight for reproductive freedom has moved well beyond the courts, into our devices, our data, and our daily lives.
Today, across the US and beyond, many women and people with cycles live with the fear that their personal health information – information that should only be empowering, insightful, even life-saving – could be used against them.
In the midst of this evolving landscape, where politics often overshadow science and medicine, we want you to know that we remain unwavering in our commitment:
We will always protect your data. And we are prepared to defend and protect that promise at all costs. If we are subpoenaed by any authority demanding access to your data, we will not comply.
We have looked into this deeply and concluded that applicable legal privacy and due process protections ultimately justify a refusal of any request for disclosure of health data to any authority. No authority can override that. We will fight any such attempts publicly, loudly, and relentlessly.
As an independent company based in Berlin, Germany, we have a primary legal duty under European and German law not to disclose private health data.
We firmly believe that as women and people with cycles, our private health data must serve us and never be used against us. Our app exists to serve you, our community—not the agendas of advertisers, insurance companies, data brokers, or anyone else.
Our commitment is not new. It has been at the core of Clue’s values for over a decade.
And it’s not bound by geography, but by principle.
Because ignorance about our health and our bodies has never protected us.
Because fear should not keep anyone from knowing and understanding their own body.
Because there's power in knowing your body. And privacy protects that power.
We refuse to accept a future where keeping a personal health record comes at the expense of privacy and autonomy. And we will never be complicit in reproductive surveillance.
We know what’s at stake. And we won’t stop fighting to protect your right to know your own body, on your terms.
With unwavering solidarity from Berlin,
The Team at Clue
