The military had a similar problem with fitness apps for a while.

I used this exact thing as a teaching aid when I taught the ROTC opsec lesson. Also scared a couple kids pale when I told them Snapchat keeps a 6-month record of everything you send
Dick pics never get wiped 🐸
That app probably
Only 6 months? Honestly I'm surprised it's so short of time frame.
I guess to be more specific, you can request 6 months of your data
Ah that makes more sense
They probably horde that data like a Dragon hordes gold
The NSA has entire datacenters just to store your data.
Never know what might come in handy.

They were working on the Manhattan Project.
