Google and Flo Health have agreed to a $56 million settlement to resolve a class-action lawsuit concerning the alleged illegal sharing of user reproductive data. The lawsuit claimed that Flo Health shared sensitive data with third parties, including Google and Meta, from November 2016 to February 2019. Both companies denied the allegations but opted for settlement to avoid litigation costs and uncertainty. In a related development, Meta was found liable for violating the California Invasion of Privacy Act. The company attempted to argue that its data collection was 'secondhand,' but a federal judge rejected this defense, emphasizing the issues surrounding the collection of intimate health data.
