Flo Class Action Lawsuit, How To Sign Up Online, Who Qualifies For The $59.5 Million Settlement, And What You Must Know About The 2026 Claim Deadline

If you used the Flo period-tracking app between November 2016 and February 2019, you’re likely eligible for compensation from a $59.5 million settlement. The combined settlement with Google ($48M), Flo Health ($8M), and Flurry ($3.5M) resolves allegations that these companies illegally shared your sensitive menstrual and pregnancy data without consent—and you can sign up online once the claim portal opens.

What The Flo Class Action Lawsuit Alleged And Who’s Paying

The lawsuit, filed as Frasco v. Flo Health Inc. (Case No. 3:21-cv-00757-JD) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, accused Flo Health of embedding software development kits (SDKs) from tech giants into its period-tracking app. These tracking tools allegedly captured and transmitted users’ highly sensitive information—menstrual cycle details, pregnancy intentions, sexual activity, and location data—to third parties including Google, Meta, and Flurry without proper consent.

Plaintiffs claimed this conduct violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA). According to court documents certified on May 19, 2025, the lawsuit alleged Flo monetized intimate health data through analytics partnerships despite privacy promises stating the company “will not transmit any of your personal data to third parties” without explicit consent.

Google settled before trial in July 2025 for $48 million. Flo Health settled mid-trial on July 31, 2025, for $8 million. Flurry reached a $3.5 million settlement in April 2025. Meanwhile, on August 1, 2025, a federal jury found Meta liable for violating CIPA—Meta remains the only non-settling defendant and faces separate damages.

How Much Compensation Class Members Can Receive From The Flo Settlement

Settlement payments will be distributed on a pro rata basis, meaning each valid claim receives an equal share of the net settlement fund after deducting administrative costs, attorney fees, and court-approved expenses. California residents who can provide reasonable documentation of residency receive twice the pro rata share of other class members.

Based on settlement structure, if the net fund totals $40 million and 100,000 valid claims are filed, California residents would receive approximately $800 per claim while other class members would receive approximately $400. However, final payment amounts depend entirely on the total number of approved claims submitted—fewer claims mean higher individual payments.

The settlement administrator will calculate exact payment amounts after the claim deadline passes and all submissions are validated.

Who Qualifies As A Settlement Class Member

You’re automatically included in the Nationwide Class if you used the Flo app in the United States and entered menstruation and/or pregnancy information between November 1, 2016, and February 28, 2019. This includes anyone who selected reproductive health goals or entered dates related to menstrual cycles, fertility tracking, or pregnancy.

California residents who entered this information while residing in California during the class period qualify for the California Subclass and receive enhanced compensation (double the standard payment).

Excluded from the class: judges presiding over the case, defendants and their subsidiaries, employees and officers of defendants, plaintiffs’ and defendants’ counsel, and anyone who properly files a timely exclusion request.

Critical Deadlines And Settlement Status As Of January 2026

The settlement awaits preliminary court approval. Attorneys filed a motion for preliminary approval on September 23, 2025. Once the court grants preliminary approval, the settlement administrator will announce the official claim deadline through mail and email notices sent to potential class members.

As of January 2026, no claim portal has launched yet. Class members should watch for official notices from the settlement administrator at www.PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com or contact [email protected] with questions.

Expected timeline: Preliminary approval hearing (early 2026), claim deadline announcement following approval, final fairness hearing several months later, and payments issued after final approval and claim processing—likely in late 2026 or early 2027.

How To Sign Up And File Your Claim Online (Step-By-Step)

Once the settlement receives preliminary court approval, follow these steps to file your claim:

Step 1: Visit the official settlement website at www.PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com. Never use third-party websites claiming to process Flo settlement claims—only the court-approved administrator handles legitimate submissions.

Step 2: Create an account or log in. You’ll need to provide your name, current address (no P.O. boxes accepted), email address, and phone number.

Step 3: Complete the online claim form. Attest under penalty of perjury that you used the Flo app in the United States between November 1, 2016, and February 28, 2019, and that you entered menstruation and/or pregnancy information during this period.

Step 4: For California residents only: Check the box affirming California residency during the class period and consent to address verification. The administrator will verify residency to determine if you qualify for the enhanced payment.

Step 5: Upload required documentation (if available). While attestation under oath is the primary requirement, supporting evidence strengthens your claim. Acceptable documentation includes screenshots of the Flo app showing your account history, email confirmations from Flo during the class period, app store purchase receipts, or account statements.

Step 6: Review and submit by the deadline. Incomplete claims receive a 20-day cure period to provide additional information. Missing the final deadline means forfeiting your right to compensation.

Step 7: Choose your payment method. The settlement allows multiple payment options including direct deposit, PayPal, Venmo, or physical check.

What You Must Know Before Filing

Settlement approval is not guaranteed. The court must grant preliminary and final approval before any payments are issued. Objections or appeals could delay or alter the settlement terms.

Accepting payment releases future claims. If you receive settlement money, you waive your right to sue Google, Flo Health, or Flurry for the same conduct alleged in this lawsuit. You cannot later claim additional damages for data sharing that occurred between November 2016 and February 2019.

Common reasons claims get denied: Failing to meet class period requirements (used the app before November 2016 or after February 2019), submitting duplicate claims, providing incomplete information, missing deadlines, or inability to verify California residency for enhanced payments.

You can opt out to sue separately. If you suffered significant harm beyond what the settlement compensates or disagree with the terms, you can exclude yourself from the class and preserve your right to pursue individual litigation. The opt-out deadline will be announced with preliminary approval—typically 60-90 days after notices are sent.

Privacy changes Flo has implemented. Following a February 2021 Federal Trade Commission settlement, Flo stopped sharing sensitive health data with outside firms and now requires users’ affirmative consent before sharing reproductive health information. The company agreed to undergo independent privacy audits and display prominent privacy notices on its website for one year after final settlement approval.

Similar health data privacy class action lawsuits have targeted companies like Kaiser Permanente for sharing patient information with tech giants through tracking tools, highlighting growing scrutiny of healthcare apps and medical privacy practices.

What To Do Next If You’re Eligible

Determine if you’re part of the settlement class. Review the eligibility criteria above. If you used the Flo app between November 2016 and February 2019 and entered menstrual or pregnancy data, you likely qualify.

Gather documentation now. Don’t wait for the claim portal to open. Start collecting evidence today: search your email for Flo correspondence, check app store purchase history, take screenshots if you still have the app installed showing your account creation date, and organize any other records proving you used the app during the class period.

Monitor the official settlement website. Bookmark www.PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com and check regularly for updates on preliminary approval, claim deadlines, and portal launch dates. Sign up for email notifications if the website offers this option.

Mark your calendar for deadlines. Once preliminary approval is granted, three critical dates will be announced: the claim deadline (typically 90-120 days after preliminary approval), the opt-out/exclusion deadline, and the final fairness hearing date. Missing these deadlines forfeits your rights.

Contact the settlement administrator with questions. Call (866) 778-9626 or email [email protected] for official information. Do not rely on third-party websites or services offering to “help” you file for a fee—filing is free.

Consider legal advice for specific situations. Consult an attorney if you suffered documented harm beyond the average class member (such as discrimination or financial loss linked to the data sharing), if you’re considering opting out to pursue individual claims, or if you want to object to the settlement terms at the fairness hearing.

The landscape of Google class action lawsuits demonstrates tech companies increasingly face liability for privacy violations, with settlements often taking years to finalize but providing meaningful compensation to affected consumers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Flo class action lawsuit about?

The lawsuit alleged Flo Health embedded tracking software from Google, Meta, and Flurry into its period-tracking app, allowing these companies to collect users’ menstrual cycle data, pregnancy information, sexual activity details, and location without proper consent. This violated California privacy laws protecting medical information and prohibiting unauthorized interception of confidential communications.

Who is eligible to file a claim in the Flo settlement?

Anyone in the United States who used the Flo Period & Ovulation Tracker app and entered menstruation and/or pregnancy information between November 1, 2016, and February 28, 2019, automatically qualifies. California residents during this period receive enhanced compensation.

How much money will I receive from the Flo class action settlement?

Payment amounts depend on the total number of valid claims filed. Estimates range from $200 to $800 per claim for California residents (who receive double shares) and $100 to $400 for other class members, but these are projections only. Final amounts will be calculated after the claim deadline.

What is the deadline to file a Flo settlement claim?

The official claim deadline has not been announced yet as of January 2026. The settlement administrator will publish the deadline after the court grants preliminary approval, expected in early 2026. Claims will likely be due 90-120 days after preliminary approval.

What proof do I need to file a Flo class action claim?

You must attest under penalty of perjury that you used the Flo app in the United States during November 2016 to February 2019 and entered menstrual or pregnancy data.
