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.). Flurry settled first (agreement signed March 20, 2025); Google agreed to settle on July 3, 2025, shortly before trial; and Flo agreed to settle on July 30, 2025, during trial. On August 1, 2025, a California federal jury found Meta liable.

Current Status
Don't miss the claim deadline
Claims are due by October 15, 2026. We'll email you 7 days and 1 day before the deadline.
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 and/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 (twice the pro rata share, if they can document California residency, for example with a valid California address). The opt-out deadline (July 20, 2025) has passed, so you cannot exclude yourself now; you can still file a claim by October 15, 2026 or object by October 8, 2026.

Case Timeline
- 1
January 2021 — Lawsuit Filed
Plaintiffs filed a federal class action (Frasco et al. v. Flo Health Inc.) in the Northern District of California, alleging Flo shared menstrual, pregnancy, and fertility data with Google, Meta, and Flurry via embedded SDKs without consent.
- 2
March 2025 — Flurry Settles for $3.5 Million
Analytics company Flurry became the first defendant to settle, agreeing to a $3.5 million fund to resolve claims that it received users' health data from the Flo app. Flurry had dissolved, and the deal secured all of its remaining cash.
- 3
July 2025 — Google Settles, Trial Begins, Flo Settles Mid-Trial
Google agreed on July 3, 2025 to pay $48 million, shortly before trial. Trial began July 21, 2025 in San Francisco, and on July 30, 2025, during trial, Flo Health agreed to pay $8 million. Both deny wrongdoing. The combined fund reached $59.5 million.

August 1, 2025 — Jury Finds Meta Liable
A California federal jury unanimously found Meta violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act by intercepting reproductive-health data from the Flo app. Meta asked the court to overturn the verdict or order a new trial; Judge James Donato refused in September 2025. At a hearing on September 30, 2025, he signaled that Meta could owe nearly $8 billion, based on plaintiffs' proposal of $5,000 per class member and their estimate of about 1.6 million eligible California class members.

April–September 2026 — Claims Open; Judgment Sought Against Meta
On April 22, 2026, the court preliminarily approved the Google and Flo settlements (the Flurry settlement had been preliminarily approved earlier), and the claims portal opened with a claim deadline of October 15, 2026. Plaintiffs asked for final approval on August 20, 2026, and on September 14, 2026 moved for a judgment against Meta. Both requests are set for hearing on October 29, 2026.
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
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 — 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time online, or postmarked by that date if you mail a paper form.
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. People who lived in California during the class period and can document it receive twice the pro rata share. Class counsel's own estimate, filed with the court on August 20, 2026, is an average of $31.94 per class member if 10% of the class files and $12.69 if 25% files. Figures of $200–$400 seen online are far higher than that and are 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, and in September 2025 the judge refused to overturn the verdict or order a new trial. As of September 30, 2026, no damages have been awarded and no judgment has been entered. On September 14, 2026, plaintiffs asked the court for a judgment that, according to MLex, would require Meta to pay about $1.1 billion to roughly 222,000 California residents; Meta opposes it, and the court will hear the request on October 29, 2026. According to the official settlement website, people who were California residents may be eligible for money from the Meta verdict. There is no approved Meta claim form yet: the official settlement website says eligible people will be contacted later, and filing a claim in the Google/Flo/Flurry settlement does not affect that right. On September 9, 2026, plaintiffs asked the court to approve a claims process for money from the Meta verdict; Meta opposed it on September 23, 2026, and the court will hear it on October 29, 2026.
Is the Flo settlement legitimate or a scam?
It is a real, court-certified class action (Frasco et al. v. Flo Health Inc., Case No. 3:21-cv-00757, N.D. Cal.). As of September 30, 2026, the settlements are preliminarily approved; the court will decide on final approval at a hearing on October 29, 2026. 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.
