The Governance of intimate data in regulating Fertility and Menstruation Tracking Apps
Seed money project at WZB Berlin Social Science Center with Julia Pohle and Clara Iglesias Keller. The aim of this collaboration is to develop a joint research project on the governance of intimate data by looking at state regulation of menstruation and fertility apps, devices with an estimated 100 million of users worldwide. States regulate intimate and reproductive processes in a variety of ways, such as with abortion laws and contraception policies, but states also develop various regulatory approaches to restrict the gathering of personal (including intimate) data. The extent and modes of state governance of individuals’ intimate data recorded in menstruation and fertility apps has yet been little understood. July-December 2023.
