Sharing Health Logs with a Partner – What to Watch For
Table of Contents
Establishing Clear Privacy Boundaries
- • Decide which data fields you’re comfortable sharing (e.g., mood ratings but not journal entries).
- • Set time‑bound sharing windows—only during specific cycle phases or crisis periods.
- • Use privacyBoundariesGraphic to visualize and document shared vs. private data.
Consent: The Ongoing Conversation
Obtain explicit, informed consent before sharing anything; revisit consent regularly.
Document consent terms: purpose, duration, data types, and revocation mechanism.
Refer to consentChecklistGraphic for a step-by-step consent framework.
Talking It Through: Sample Scripts
“I’d like to share my symptom logs so you understand what I’m going through—would that feel okay for you?”
“If you notice certain trends, please check in with me before assuming what I need.”
See communicationScriptGraphic for more phrasing options tailored to different dynamics.
Creating a Shared Data‑Use Agreement
- • Define how and when shared data will inform joint decisions or actions.
- • Agree on feedback mechanisms: how your partner reports observations or concerns.
- • Use dataUseAgreementGraphic to co‑design a simple, clear usage flowchart.
Building and Maintaining Trust
Share logs incrementally—start small to build confidence in the process.
Hold regular check‑ins to discuss feelings, privacy needs, and any adjustments.
Refer to trustBuildingGraphic for a practice framework of transparency and feedback.
Resolving Misunderstandings
Acknowledge when expectations aren’t met and revisit boundary agreements.
Use “I” statements to express hurt or discomfort without blame.
Follow conflictResolutionGraphic steps to de‑escalate and renegotiate sharing terms.
Aligning Shared Logs with Joint Wellness Goals
- • Identify overlapping health goals—better sleep, stress management, exercise timing.
- • Combine data to create shared action plans, such as planning rest days together.
- • See wellnessGoalsGraphic for examples of co‑created wellness roadmaps.
Safely Revoking Access
Include an exit clause in your agreement for immediate revocation if boundaries are violated.
Use in‑app tools or settings to remove shared permissions instantly.
Refer to safetyExitGraphic for a checklist to ensure data is fully unshared.
