Do Pregnancy Apps Sell Your Data?

Pregnancy is one of the most incredible, transformative journeys you will ever experience. But between tracking daily symptoms, preparing for your baby’s arrival, and trying to remember everything your doctor tells you, it can also feel completely overwhelming. Naturally, most expecting parents head straight to the App Store to download a pregnancy tracker.

But before you click "download," it’s important to ask a critical question: What is this app actually doing with my most personal information?

The unfortunate reality of the modern digital age is that many free pregnancy apps come with a hidden cost.

If you’ve ever wondered, "Do pregnancy apps sell my data?" the short answer is: Yes, many of them do. We noticed a troubling trend in the world of pregnancy apps. Most of the popular trackers on the market aren’t actually built by healthcare professionals or biotech companies—they are owned by advertising and data-mining companies. Their primary goal isn't necessarily to support your pregnancy; it’s to profit off of your data.

Every time you log a symptom, input your due date, or share a health detail, that information is often bundled and sold to marketers. Why? Because expecting parents are incredibly valuable to advertisers. By tracking your location and pregnancy milestones, these companies can flood your inbox and social media feeds with highly targeted ads right when you are most likely to make purchasing decisions.

At Americord Registry, a private stem cell and tissue bank trusted by informed parents for over 17 years, we believe you deserve better. Your health details and your baby's development are deeply personal, not a commodity to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

You deserve a safe, calm place to track your milestones, manage your well-being, and connect with other expecting parents. That’s why we are thrilled to introduce Lizia, Americord’s brand-new, completely free pregnancy tracking app and community.

Built by people who actually care about your baby’s future—not an ad-tech company—Lizia flips the script on pregnancy tracking. We believe that privacy isn’t just a premium feature; it is the absolute foundation of our app.

When you use Lizia, you can rest easy knowing:

• Your Data is Yours: Your data is never sold or shared with advertisers. Period.
• Zero Third-Party Advertising: You won't be bombarded with ads for baby gear or targeted marketing campaigns.
• No Ad-Tech Trackers: We don't embed ad-tech trackers into the app to follow you around the internet.

Just because Lizia is private doesn't mean it compromises on features. In fact, Lizia is designed to be your ultimate companion, thoughtfully combining essential tracking tools, wellness features, and expert resources so you feel supported every step of the way—completely for free.

Here is what you can expect when you join the Lizia community:

• Join a Real Community: Connect with other expecting mothers who truly get it. Lizia features an actively moderated community that keeps conversations kind and supportive—no unsolicited opinions or pile-ons, just genuine connection.
• Learn from the Experts: Access a regularly updated feed of articles from Americord’s team covering pregnancy health, early parenting, and biobanking (like introducing cord blood banking in a simple, non-overwhelming way).

Your pregnancy journey is personal, and your app should be too. Don't settle for a tracker that treats you like a target audience. Choose a clean, calming, and completely private tracking experience designed to empower you.
