Grindr sued for sharing sensitive users' data
Quick Glance: Lawsuit Alleges Grindr's Unauthorized HIV Status Disclosure
  • A group of 670 individuals have joined a class action lawsuit against LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr in the UK seeking damages for the alleged unauthorized disclosure of HIV status and other sensitive data to third parties.

  • The lawsuit claims that Grindr violated UK data protection laws by sharing user data without consent, particularly data disclosed before April 3, 2018, and between May 25, 2018, and April 7, 2020.

  • Researchers from SINTEF in 2018 published information indicating that Grindr was sharing user data, including HIV status, with analytics companies, sparking intense criticism and prompting changes to the company's privacy policy.

  • Grindr was fined 65 million Norwegian kroner for violating GDPR consent rules, leading to further legal issues in the US.
