I imagine they collect data to improve their algorithm so it can more accurately predict a woman’s cycle. Quite a few women use these apps as an alternative birth control, so knowing the specific days where they need to avoid sex is helpful.
Normally, I’d install the app to find out, but I can’t really install any more apps on my phone. And oh man, do I never like seeing the phrase “collect data to improve [their] algorithm”.
In general, medical predictions are a very good example of using AI to benefit humanity, not just shareholders. It’s still scary if it’s done by a private company.

It’s a German company, so I have no idea if they have an equivalent to HIPAA(USA) or if a private company would even have to comply with it.
