The Flo Health period tracker privacy settlement, explained

If you used the Flo period or pregnancy tracking app between 2016 and 2019, you may be part of a $59.5 million privacy settlement. The claims window has closed. It ended on October 15, 2026, and Frasco v. Flo Health Inc. has not paid out yet. As of October 26, 2026 the case is awaiting a final approval hearing set for October 29, 2026 before Judge James Donato.

This is not a data breach settlement. Nobody is alleged to have hacked into Flo's systems. The claims are about what Flo itself allegedly did with the health information users typed into the app, and who it shared that information with.

What the lawsuit says Flo Health did

Flo is a period and fertility tracking app. Users log details like the dates of their menstrual cycle, symptoms, and, for some users, whether they are pregnant. Because that information can reveal intimate details about a person's body and reproductive life, most users expect it to stay private.

The lawsuit, formally Frasco, et al. v. Flo Health Inc., et al., alleges that between November 2016 and February 2019, Flo shared that health data with outside companies, including Google and the mobile analytics firm Flurry, for purposes like advertising and analytics, despite telling users their health information would be kept confidential. The case is pending before Judge James Donato in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, case number 3:21-cv-00757-JD.

This lawsuit follows a separate, earlier action. In 2021, the Federal Trade Commission reached its own settlement with Flo Health after finding the company had shared data from its fertility app with outside companies, including Facebook and Google, despite promising to keep that information private. That FTC order required Flo to get user consent before sharing health data going forward and did not pay money to consumers. It is a different matter from the $59.5 million settlement covered here, though the two involve overlapping allegations.

Flo Health has not admitted wrongdoing by agreeing to this settlement, and neither have Google or Flurry. A settlement resolves a lawsuit without either side having to prove its version of events at trial; it is a business decision to end the litigation, not a legal finding that the allegations are true. This case is also a class action, meaning it is brought on behalf of a large group of people who share similar claims, rather than one person suing individually. That structure is why a single lawsuit can result in a fund covering everyone who fits the class definition, instead of separate cases for each user.

Where the case stands right now

The claims window has closed. The claim deadline was October 15, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time, or postmarked by that date for a mailed claim, and it has passed. A final approval hearing, where the court will decide whether to approve the settlement, is scheduled for October 29, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. in Courtroom 11 of the San Francisco courthouse.

The deadline to opt out of the class, meaning to exclude yourself and keep your own right to sue Flo separately, already passed on July 20, 2025. If you did not opt out by then, you remain part of the class automatically. That is a separate thing from objecting, which means staying in the class while telling the court you think some part of the deal is unfair. The deadline to object was October 8, 2026 and has also passed.

A final approval hearing is the point in any class action settlement where a judge reviews the deal, hears from anyone who objected, and decides whether it is fair, reasonable, and adequate before it can take full effect. Payment generally cannot go out until the settlement has been finally approved, so October 29, 2026 is the date to watch if you filed a claim and are wondering when this case might actually resolve. No order granting or denying final approval had issued as of October 26, 2026.

Meta was a defendant too, but did not settle

Meta Platforms, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, was also a defendant in this same lawsuit, under the same docket, 3:21-cv-00757-JD, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Unlike Google, Flo, and Flurry, Meta did not join this settlement. The claims against Meta went to a jury trial, and on August 1, 2025, a jury found Meta liable for violating the California Invasion of Privacy Act by intercepting Flo users' in-app period and pregnancy information through Meta's software development kit embedded in the app. Meta is appealing that verdict.

The $59.5 million settlement covered in this article is separate from the Meta verdict and any recovery that may eventually come from it. Filing a claim in this settlement does not give up any right to a future payment tied to the Meta case; if the Meta verdict results in payments to affected users, those users would be notified separately through that part of the litigation. Because Meta's appeal is still pending as of this writing, RecordingLaw is not stating or estimating what, if anything, Meta will ultimately pay.

Who is in the class

You are potentially a class member if you are a Flo app user in the United States who entered period or pregnancy information into the app between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019. You do not need to still have the app installed, and you do not need proof that a specific company misused your data. The class is defined by what you entered into the app during that window, not by what happened to it afterward.

How much you might actually receive

There is no fixed payout amount for this settlement. Money comes out of the $59.5 million fund on a pro rata basis, meaning it is divided among everyone who files a valid claim, after attorneys' fees, administrator costs, and other court-approved deductions come out first. How much any one person receives depends on how many people file, so nobody, including RecordingLaw, can tell you a dollar figure in advance.

One part of the settlement is worth knowing if you lived in California during the class period. California Subclass members who provide reasonable documentation of California residency during that time are entitled to twice the pro rata share that other class members receive, under the settlement agreement's terms. That still is not a fixed number; it is double whatever the standard per-claim share ends up being once the fund is divided.

In the October 22, 2026 reply brief supporting final approval, class counsel reported the administrator's projection that eligible class members would receive between $60.00 and $63.00, and California Subclass members between $120.00 and $126.00. Those are projections in a pending motion rather than approved amounts, and the court had not ruled as of October 26, 2026. Class counsel also tell the court that the 4.6 percent claims rate behind those figures is a current rate that may increase as the administrator completes processing, which would push the per-person amount down. Our news desk covered the filing and the claims screening behind those figures in 21.7 million of the 22.2 million claims filed were flagged as fraudulent.

This settlement does not try to reimburse a specific dollar amount of financial loss the way an identity-theft or credit-monitoring settlement might, because the underlying claim is about unauthorized data sharing, not stolen money. That is part of why the payout structure is a straight pro rata division of the fund rather than tiered reimbursement based on receipts or bills. Treat any number you see elsewhere online as a rough estimate at best, not a promise of what will land in your account.

What you need to provide

This settlement did not require documented proof of financial loss to file a claim. For the standard share, filing was based on confirming you met the class definition, not on submitting receipts or account statements. For the enhanced California Subclass share, a claimant had to provide reasonable documentation showing California residency during the class period. That is proof of residency, not proof that the claimant was personally harmed.

Filing is closed

The claims window is closed, so there is no longer a claim to file. While it was open, claims went through the official settlement website for this case, administered by A.B. Data, Ltd., the court-approved claims administrator. According to the October 22, 2026 reply brief, the administrator will send a deficiency notice to the claimants whose submissions show indicia of fraud, giving them an opportunity to supply documentation or information establishing their identity. Anything of that kind comes from the administrator, not from us; RecordingLaw is an independent publisher, not the administrator or the court, and there is nothing to mail to us and nothing for us to process here.

Because the settlement has not yet reached final approval, there is no confirmed payment date. In most class actions, distribution follows sometime after the final approval hearing, once any post-hearing appeal period has run its course, but that timeline is not something we can state for this case with a specific date. The official settlement site is where any update on payment timing will be posted first.

If you're unsure this applies to you

Deleting the Flo app years ago does not remove you from the class. What matters is whether you entered period or pregnancy data into the app during the eligible window, not whether you still use it today. If you are not sure, the official settlement site is the place to check your specific situation, not a general web search. Privacy settlements like this one regularly attract copycat sites hoping to collect personal information under a similar-sounding name. If you're not sure a site or email about this settlement is genuine, our settlement notice checker checks its link or sender address against Flo's official settlement site.

More broadly, this case is a reminder that health apps are not automatically bound by medical privacy law the way a doctor's office is. The federal medical privacy law most people have heard of, HIPAA, generally applies to healthcare providers, insurers, and their business partners; it does not automatically cover a period-tracking app you downloaded yourself, which is part of why cases like this one get litigated as privacy or consumer-protection claims instead. It is worth periodically checking what permissions a health or wellness app has on your phone, what its privacy policy actually says about sharing data with advertisers or analytics companies, and whether it offers a way to delete your account and data entirely if you stop using it.

RecordingLaw's guide to data privacy laws explains what protections do and do not apply to apps like this, and what rights you have over data companies collect about you. If you are trying to track down whether some other settlement you heard about is real and still open, RecordingLaw's settlement tracker lists verified, currently open consumer settlements sourced from official administrator sites rather than search results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Flo Health privacy settlement?

It is a $59.5 million settlement resolving Frasco v. Flo Health Inc., a lawsuit alleging Flo Health shared users' period and pregnancy data, entered into its Flo app, with outside companies including Google and the analytics firm Flurry, without adequate consent. It is a privacy lawsuit, not a data breach.

Is the Flo Health settlement still accepting claims?

No. The claim deadline was October 15, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time and it has passed, so no new claims can be filed. A final approval hearing is scheduled for October 29, 2026, and as of October 26, 2026 the court had not ruled.

Who is eligible for the Flo Health settlement?

U.S. Flo app users who entered period or pregnancy information into the app between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019 are part of the settlement class. You do not need to still have the app installed to be eligible.

How much money will I get from the Flo Health settlement?

There is no fixed amount. Payouts are a pro rata share of the $59.5 million fund divided among everyone who files a valid claim, so the exact amount depends on how many people file and is not something that can be promised in advance.

Do I get more money if I lived in California?

Possibly. California Subclass members who provide reasonable documentation of California residency during the class period receive twice the pro rata share that other class members receive, under the settlement agreement.

Do I need to prove I was harmed to file a claim?

No. This settlement does not require documented proof of financial loss. The only documentation required is for the enhanced California Subclass share, which needs proof of California residency during the class period, not proof of harm.

Can I still opt out of the Flo Health settlement?

No. The deadline to opt out and keep your right to sue Flo separately passed on July 20, 2025. If you did not exclude yourself by then, you remain in the class.

Is this the same as the FTC's case against Flo Health?

No. The Federal Trade Commission separately settled with Flo Health in 2021 over the same general kind of data sharing, but that order required changes to Flo's practices and did not pay consumers. This $59.5 million settlement is a different, later case that does include a consumer claims process.

Was Meta part of this lawsuit?

Yes. Meta Platforms was a co-defendant in the same case, under the same docket number, but it did not join this $59.5 million settlement. The claims against Meta went to trial, and on August 1, 2025 a jury found Meta liable for violating the California Invasion of Privacy Act by intercepting Flo users' health data through its software development kit. Meta is appealing. That part of the case is separate from this settlement, and filing a claim here does not affect any potential future recovery tied to the Meta verdict.

Where do I file a claim for the Flo Health settlement?

The claims window closed on October 15, 2026, so there is no longer a claim to file. While it was open, the only legitimate route was the official, court-approved settlement site for Frasco v. Flo Health Inc., administered by A.B. Data, Ltd. RecordingLaw is an independent publisher and cannot file a claim on your behalf or check your claim status.
