YSK many top mental health apps are sharing personal data, according to a research report by Mozilla Foundation. The chief researcher called them “exceptionally creepy”
Why YSK: A lot of us take care of our mental health and wellbeing with the help of apps. But it turns out that the vast majority of these apps fail to meet basic privacy and security standards.
Mozilla’s report revealed “how negligent and craven these companies can be with our most intimate personal information” and how “in some cases, they operate like data-sucking machines with a mental health app veneer.”
I’m in therapy but I’ve used some of the reviewed apps between sessions. I’ve since deleted my accounts and are looking for alternatives. Can anyone recommend something that’s helped them?
