LGBTQ+ dating app's maker previously denied selling sensitive user data
Hundreds have joined a UK class action lawsuit against LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr, seeking damages over a historical case of the company allegedly forwarding users' HIV status as well as other sensitive data to third-party advertisers.
This data included a user's HIV status and their last test date, their sexual preferences, and their GPS location – all of which were added to public profiles by users and later gathered up by Grindr's trackers. Grindr appealed the fine, but the original decision was upheld in September 2023 by Norway's Personal Protection Board. A month later, Grindr sued the NO DPA over the validity of its decision.
