What the Lawsuit Alleges
Between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019, Flo Health Inc. allegedly embedded tracking code from Google, Meta (Facebook), and Flurry inside its popular period and ovulation tracker app. That code transmitted users' most sensitive health data — including menstrual cycle dates, pregnancy status, sexual activity, and fertility goals — to those companies without users' knowledge or consent, in violation of the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA). Plaintiffs filed a federal class action in 2021 (Frasco et al. v. Flo Health, Inc.). Google and Flo settled during trial in July–August 2025, and a California federal jury separately found Meta liable on August 1, 2025.
Case Details
U.S. District Court, Northern District of California. Case No. 3:21-cv-00757-JD (Frasco et al. v. Flo Health, Inc. et al.).
Current Status
Who Is Affected & Can You Join?
You may be eligible if you (1) used the Flo Period & Ovulation Tracker app in the United States, (2) entered menstruation, fertility, or pregnancy information into the app, and (3) used the app between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019. California residents who lived in California during that period qualify for a larger subclass payout (roughly double the pro-rata share). The opt-out deadline (July 20, 2025) has passed, so you can only submit a claim — not exclude yourself.

Scam & Misinformation Warnings
Whenever a brand lawsuit goes viral, scam sites and bad actors follow. Watch for these red flags:
Fake Claim Forms on Social Media
Attorneys have flagged TikTok and other platforms as sources of fraudulent claim links and impersonation. The only legitimate claim portal is PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com. Do not submit personal information through any other site or social-media link.
Upfront 'Processing Fees'
Legitimate settlements never require you to pay a fee to file a claim or to receive payment. Any email, text, or site asking for processing, membership, or shipping fees to collect your money is a scam.
Guaranteed-Payout Promises
Some sites advertise a fixed amount (e.g., '$400 guaranteed'). The actual per-person payout is unknown until after the claim deadline and final approval. Be skeptical of any source promising a specific dollar figure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I file a claim in the Flo app settlement?
Visit the official settlement website at PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com and complete the claim form online or by mail. No documentation is required — you attest under penalty of perjury that you used the Flo app and entered menstrual or pregnancy data between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019. The deadline to file is October 15, 2026.
How much money will I get from the Flo settlement?
The amount depends on how many valid claims are filed. The net fund (after fees and costs are deducted from $59.5 million) is split proportionally among valid claimants. California residents who lived in California during the class period receive roughly twice the share. Estimates like $200–$400 are projections, not guarantees.
I used Flo after February 2019 — do I still qualify?
Only users who entered menstrual or pregnancy data into the Flo app between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019 are covered by this class settlement. Use outside that date range is not included.
What happened with Meta? Can I file against Facebook too?
The jury found Meta liable on August 1, 2025, but Meta is appealing and no damages have been formally awarded yet. The current open claims process covers the $59.5 million Google/Flo/Flurry settlement only. Any resolution of the Meta case would follow separately; no Meta claim form currently exists.
Is the Flo settlement legitimate or a scam?
It is a real, court-approved class action (Frasco et al. v. Flo Health Inc., Case No. 3:21-cv-00757, N.D. Cal.). The only legitimate claims portal is PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com, administered by A.B. Data, Ltd. Treat any other website or unsolicited email as suspicious.
Separate from this case: were you injured in the last 2 years?
Class-action payouts are fixed amounts through an administrator. A personal injury claim is a different case — and often worth far more. Free estimate, no obligation.
