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 that is open for claims right now. As of July 2026, Frasco v. Flo Health Inc. has not closed and has not paid out yet; it is in the claims filing window, with a claim deadline of October 15, 2026 and a final approval hearing set for October 29, 2026.

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 now open for claims, 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

As of July 2026, this settlement is open. The claim deadline is October 15, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time, or postmarked by that date if you file by mail. A final approval hearing, where the court will decide whether to approve the settlement, is scheduled for October 29, 2026.

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 is October 8, 2026, and any objection must follow the process described on the official settlement site.

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. Filing a claim now does not depend on that hearing happening first; the claims window and the hearing date are running at the same time. But payment generally cannot go out until the settlement has been finally approved, so October 29, 2026 is worth watching if you are wondering when this case might actually resolve.

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.

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 does not require documented proof of financial loss to file a claim. For the standard share, filing is based on confirming you meet the class definition, not on submitting receipts or account statements. For the enhanced California Subclass share, you will need to provide reasonable documentation showing you lived in California during the class period. That is proof of residency, not proof that you were personally harmed.

How to file

Claims go through the official settlement website for this case, administered by A.B. Data, Ltd., the court-approved claims administrator. Filing is straightforward: you confirm you meet the class definition and, if you are claiming the California Subclass share, provide your residency documentation. There is nothing to mail to RecordingLaw and nothing for us to process here; we are an independent publisher, not the administrator or the court.

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.

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.
