Sharing is on from the moment you join a group. While it’s on, Plum publishes a few fields about your cycle and nothing else. Your logs stay in your account.
What a group can see
- Your last period. The first day of the most recent period you logged.
- Your next expected period. The predicted start date, and how long your cycle and period usually run so the timeline can draw them.
- Whether you’re on your period today, and which day of it you’re on.
- Your exercise days, if you track exercise. Which days in the last four weeks you worked out, not what you did. This has its own switch in each group, and it starts on.
- Your name and avatar, as you set them in Me.
What stays with you
- Symptoms, mood, energy, sleep, skin, pain and anything else you log on a day.
- Flow levels and spotting.
- Your fertile window, ovulation day and cycle phase.
- Birth control method and reminders.
- Insights, tips and cycle summaries.
- Your age, goals and anything else from onboarding.
The list of shared fields is fixed in the app’s code. There’s no setting that widens it, and nothing a group admin can turn on to see more.
Turning it off
Every group has its own switch. Turn cycle sharing off for one group and its members stop seeing your dates right away. Your other groups aren’t affected. How to do that, and how to leave or delete a group, is on its own page. For the wider picture of what Plum stores and who it talks to, read how Plum handles your data.
