Clue: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Clue is a mobile app for tracking the menstrual cycle, periods, symptoms, ovulation and fertility, and optionally pregnancy and perimenopause. Users log their data and receive cycle predictions, while Clue Plus adds more detailed insights and pattern analysis. The app is available for iOS and Android and is aimed at people who want to follow their own cycle and health. According to the vendor, it is science-based.

Clue is operated by BioWink GmbH, headquartered in Berlin, Germany, and the pages consulted name no parent company or investors. The privacy policy states that all data is stored on servers in the European Union, and that the AWS data centres used are in the EU. Some providers, such as Google Analytics, transfer data to the United States under standard contractual clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The pages consulted do not describe the app as open source or offer a self-hosting option. For a European organisation, the main points are the US sub-processors and the sensitivity of health data.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Clue

Clue is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Clue scores best on data residency.

Clue is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Clue together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
