Women's Health App, Flo Launchs Anim Mode To Maintain User Privacy And Security
JAKARTA - Flo, the world's number one leading women's health application, announced the launch of the 'Anonim Mode' feature on Wednesday, September 14. This mode is presented as part of an effort to further protect sensitive reproductive health information in America post-Roe.
Based on its official announcement, Aninim Mode allows every Flo user to access an anonymous application, email address, and technical identification so they are not associated with health data on their Anonim Mode account.
To support its efforts, Flo has partnered with Cloudflare to integrate the HTTP Obligious system, App Relay Gateway, which ensures that neither side processes user data for the Aninim Mode account, or has complete information about who users are and what they are trying to access.

Women's health information shouldn't be mandatory. Every day, our users turn to Flo to gain personal insight into their bodies," said Cath Everrett, VP of Products and Content at Flo.
Everett added, now, more than ever, women have the right to access, track, and gain insight into their personal health information without fear of government demands.
"We hope that this achievement will serve as an example for industry and inspire companies to raise standards in terms of privacy and security principles," he explained.
Flo's mission is to build a better future for women's health and provide 48 million active users with evidence-based information including effective contraceptive methods and sexual health.
Flo's Anim mode is based on the principle that users should feel safe when accessing credible information medically to help them make decisions based on information about their health without anxiety or worry.
Flo has made significant efforts to offer all users the highest privacy and security standards, including encryption of all data and code protection to reduce the risk of unauthorized users accessing applications on their personal devices.
Using Cloudflare App Relays, Flo brings user privacy to a deeper level than simply removing connections between IP addresses and user health data.
