Poop analysis app allegedly peddles user stool photos for AI training

a reddit user identified as the developer of poopcheck advertised the sale of a database containing 150,000 labeled stool images collected from 25,000 users. the seller marketed the dataset for machine learning training and cancer studies, despite the app's 'privacy first' branding and explicit claims that no data is collected. while the app store listing asserts data encryption and retention policies, the internal terms of service reportedly allow for data aggregation. this exposes a significant gap between consumer-facing privacy assurances and the actual data harvesting practices of niche ai applications.
