Period tracking app has been yapping about your flow to Meta
Flo, a popular period tracking app, was found liable in a 2025 class action lawsuit involving 13 million users for unlawfully sharing sensitive reproductive health data—including menstrual cycle, ovulation, and pregnancy-related details—with Meta, Google, and Flurry between 2016 and 2019, despite explicit privacy policy promises to protect user data. This case highlights critical gaps in current health privacy laws like HIPAA, which do not cover non-clinical wellness tech, raising concerns about user consent and data security for millions of period tracking app users.
