What did Flo actually do with your data?
The lawsuit alleged that Flo Health sent sensitive health data to Facebook, Google, and Flurry (a Yahoo analytics subsidiary) without telling users. The data included menstrual cycle dates, pregnancy status, sexual activity, and other health information that users entered into the app expecting it to stay private.
The Federal Trade Commission flagged this in January 2021, finding that Flo promised to keep health data private and only use it to provide the app’s services, then shared it with analytics providers anyway. A jury later found in favor of the plaintiffs. On June 18, 2026, HIPAA Journal reported that the defendants agreed to settle for $59.5 million total: Google pays $48 million, Flo pays $8 million, and Flurry pays $3.5 million.
Flo denied wrongdoing and published a statement claiming the case was settled after a judge indicated he would toss the plaintiffs’ claims. The settlement was reached without any admission of liability.
The reaction across communities was immediate and angry. A thread in r/TwoXChromosomes with 50+ comments asked: “Flo Health was fined by the FTC for sharing users’ pregnancy data with Facebook and advertisers. How are we still trusting period apps with our [data]” (r/TwoXChromosomes). A separate thread in r/TwoXChromosomes with 130+ comments documented the jury verdict: “Meta illegally collected data from Flo period and pregnancy app, jury finds” (r/TwoXChromosomes). The anger is consistent: the data people trusted a health app with was the data that got shared.
Who qualifies?
Eligibility is straightforward compared to product-purchase settlements. You qualify if you used the Flo period tracking app in the United States during the class period. Check periodtrackerdataprivacylitigation.com for the exact date range. The key eligibility points:
This is a data privacy settlement. Unlike product refund cases, you are not claiming for something you purchased. You are claiming because your private health data was allegedly shared without your knowledge. The claim form asks you to attest that you used the app, not to submit documentation.
How much will you get?
Individual payouts depend on how many people file valid claims. The total fund is $59.5 million. After attorneys’ fees and administrative costs are deducted, the remaining amount gets split among everyone who files a valid claim on a pro-rata basis.
Flo reports over 70 million users globally. Even if a fraction of US users file, the individual amounts will be modest. But “modest” in the context of a settlement you spent 5 minutes filing is still real money. For comparison, the $68M Google Assistant settlement (deadline August 27, 2026) is paying an estimated $18 to $56 per device from a similarly sized fund. The Flo fund covers a non-device-based class, so amounts will vary.
Payout is a settlement-discovery app, not a law firm. It does not guarantee eligibility, approval, or specific payment amounts. Final amounts are determined solely by the settlement administrator and the court.
How to file your Flo settlement claim
Filing takes about 5 minutes. No documentation needed:
Go to periodtrackerdataprivacylitigation.com
This is the official settlement site managed by the court-appointed administrator. You can also find this settlement inside the Payout app.
Confirm you used the Flo app during the class period
You are eligible if you used the Flo period tracking app in the United States during the covered period. Check the settlement site for the exact date range. You do not need receipts or documentation.
Complete the claim form
Enter your name, mailing address, and email. Confirm that you used the Flo app during the class period and that the information you are providing is true. The form takes about 5 minutes.
Submit before October 15, 2026
October 15 is a hard deadline. No late claims will be accepted. Submit as early as possible to avoid missing it.
Save your confirmation
Screenshot or save the confirmation you receive. Payments typically distribute 6 to 18 months after the claim deadline closes, once all claims are reviewed by the administrator.
Once submitted, keep your confirmation. For a full walkthrough of how the class action claim process works in general, see our guide to how to file a class action settlement claim.

Why most Flo users have no idea this settlement exists
The settlement was announced June 18, 2026. The claim form opened a few weeks later. But most of the people this settlement was designed to compensate have not filed and probably never will.
The pattern is familiar. Settlement notices look like spam. Even when coverage is solid (HIPAA Journal covered the announcement, TopClassActions posted about it recently), most users are not following settlement news day-to-day. The October 15 deadline feels distant until it does not.
There’s also a different dynamic at play here compared to a product recall. Period tracking is intimate. A lot of Flo users may not want to revisit the fact that what they logged in the app was shared. One thread in r/BuyFromEU with 50+ comments put it directly: “Flo sold women’s period data to Facebook and Google, settled for $56m, and we’re STILL handing our health to american apps” (r/BuyFromEU). The frustration is real. Filing the claim does not require you to engage with the details again. It takes 5 minutes and puts money in your account.
The low-filing rate is the other side of the pro-rata equation. Fewer claimants means a higher payout per person. The window closes October 15.
The easiest type of settlement to claim
Data privacy settlements like this one are among the simplest to file. There is no product to return, no receipt to dig up, and no complex eligibility tier based on purchase amount. If you used the app, you are likely in the class.
This is the same mechanic behind why settlements like the Google Assistant privacy settlement (deadline August 27, 2026) and the beef price-fixing settlement pay out to so many people: the barrier to filing is low. You attest that you were a class member, fill out your contact information, and submit.

What happens to your data going forward
The settlement includes injunctive relief, meaning Flo, Google, and Flurry have agreed to changes in how they handle health data. Flo has made updates to its privacy practices since the FTC action in 2021. But the settlement itself does not determine what any of these companies do with data collected after the class period.
The lawsuit was filed and resolved under federal court oversight. It is a separate case from the FTC enforcement action. If you used Flo after the class period, that data is not covered by this settlement.
This settlement compensates people for past data sharing. Filing a claim does not affect your ability to use or delete your Flo account, and it does not change your relationship with the app going forward.
Health data settlements are getting bigger
$59.5 million is a significant number for a consumer app privacy case. It reflects how courts value sensitive health data differently from other types. The FTC has taken action against multiple health app companies in recent years for similar practices. Menstrual cycle data, pregnancy status, and fertility information are treated as particularly sensitive under data privacy law.
The individual payouts in cases like this tend to be modest because the class size is large. But the aggregate matters: $59.5 million is money flowing back to the users who were affected, not staying with the companies that profited from the data. Filing takes 5 minutes.
Redditors in r/ClassActionSettlement regularly report collecting $200 to $500 per year across multiple settlements. The Flo settlement closes October 15, 2026. The Google Assistant settlement closes August 27. Both are open right now.
