Flo Period & Ovulation Tracker App Users to Benefit from $59.5 Million Settlement
Users of the Flo Period & Ovulation Tracker App may claim their share of a $59.5 settlement fund as compensation for the disclosure of their personal and health information to third parties such as Flurry, Meta, and Google. Flo Health is the developer and owner of the Flo Period & Ovulation Tracker app (Flo App), one of the most popular health and fitness mobile applications, and the most popular women’s health app in the United States, having been downloaded more than 180 million times. The app serves as an ovulation calendar, period tracker, pregnancy guide, and lifestyle and wellness tracker.
After downloading the app, users are required to answer a series of more than 30 questions, and must provide their name, email address, physical address, date of birth, and intimate information about their menstruation cycle, sexual and gynecological health, lifestyle and physical well-being. While using the app, they are prompted to continue to provide further health and wellness data and information about sexual activity.
The information collected is used to provide tailored advice to users, who are given repeated assurances that their information will remain private and confidential and will not be shared with anyone. According to the lawsuit, unbeknownst to users, their data was transmitted to third parties, including Flurry, Google, Meta Platforms (Facebook), and AppsFlyer via software development kits (SDKs) embedded in the app. The SDKs were incorporated into the app between November 1, 2016, and February 28, 2019.
Several lawsuits were filed against Flo Health, Inc., Google, LLC, Facebook, Inc., AppsFlyer, Inc., and Flurry, Inc. over the alleged unlawful disclosures of their sensitive health information. The lawsuits were consolidated into a single action – Frasco, et al. v. Flo Health Inc., et al. – in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The consolidated complaint asserted claims for common law invasion of privacy – intrusion upon seclusion, invasion of privacy, and violation of the California constitution, breach of contract, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, violation of the Stored Communications Act, violation of the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA), violations of Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code, Federal Wiretap Act, California Invasion of Privacy Act, and Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act.
The defendants deny all of the plaintiffs’ allegations, and maintain they did not violate any laws, there was no wrongdoing, and that they did not share any personal or health information; however, they agreed to settle the lawsuit to avoid the cost, burden, delay, and uncertainties from protracted litigation.
Under the terms of the settlement – https://periodtrackerdataprivacylitigation.com/home/ – Google has agreed to pay $48,000,000, Flo Health will pay $8,000,000, and Flurry will pay $3,500,000 in exchange for releases from all claims in the lawsuit and any related claims. The settlement has recently received preliminary approval from the court.
The class consists of users of the Flo App between November 1, 2016, and February 28, 2019, who entered menstruation and/or pregnancy information into the app during that period. There is a subclass consisting of users of the app who were California residents at any point during those dates. Members of the California subclass will receive a double pro rata share. The deadline for objection to the settlement is October 8, 2026, and the final fairness hearing has been scheduled for October 29, 2026. Claims must be submitted by October 15, 2026.
