PinkyBond vs Flo for Partners: A Private Thread vs a Read-Only Card
Our verdict
Flo for Partners shows him a read-only card: her calendar and some tips. PinkyBond gives the couple their own end-to-end encrypted thread and calls, built on her cycle, with no account and no readable copy on any server. Flo Health paid $8 million in 2025 to settle a US class action over sharing user health data. It admits no wrongdoing.

Overview
Flo for Partners is 'n funksie binne Flo Premium wat gebruikers toelaat om basiese siklusinligting met 'n vennoot te deel. Dit is 'n dun deelvlak bo-op Flo se bestaande platform. Die vennoot kry 'n eenvoudige oorsig van haar siklusfase en 'n paar basiese wenke.
PinkyBond is 'n toegewyde metgesel-app met 60+ gebaarkaarte, AI-vertaalde brugboodskappe, bidireksionele gemoedstoestanddeling, siklusonderrig, en verbindingsmetrieks. Dit is van die grond af gebou vir vennote, nie net aan 'n tydsvolgtoestel vasgeheg nie.
Privacy and encryption
In 2021 the FTC alleged that Flo Health had shared users’ health data with third parties including Facebook and Google without consent; that order carried no fine. A related class action settled in September 2025, with Flo paying $8 million of a $56 million total and Google $48 million. Flo denies wrongdoing. Flo for Partners shares data through these same servers.
Data is encrypted on-device with AES-256-GCM before transmission. Our Convex server stores only encrypted blobs it cannot decrypt.
The experience
Flo for Partners bied 'n basiese oorsig van haar siklusfase met beperkte interpretasie. Daar is geen gebaarkaarte, geen brugboodskappe, geen bidireksionele deel nie, en geen regte tyd insigte nie.
PinkyBond vertaal haar siklusdata in aksie-ondersteunende konteks: watter fase sy in is, hoe sy mag voel, watter gebare toepaslik is, en AI-ontwerpte brugboodskappe wat sy kan goedkeur. Dit is die verskil tussen data en begrip.
