Flo Lawsuit Settlement 2026, $59.5M Claim Portal Expected Soon—Here’s Who Qualifies And How To Get Paid
Flo Health, Google, and Flurry agreed to pay a combined $59.5 million to settle claims that the popular period-tracking app shared users’ intimate health data with tech giants without consent—and if you used the Flo app between November 2016 and February 2019, you could be entitled to a cash payment. The settlement awaits final court approval in February 2026, with the official claim portal at PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com expected to open soon after preliminary approval. California residents qualify for double payments compared to other users, with estimated payouts ranging from $50 to over $400 per person depending on total claims filed.
What Is the Flo Lawsuit Settlement About?
The lawsuit alleged Flo Health Inc. embedded tracking code from Google, Meta (Facebook), and Flurry into its period-tracking app that collected and transmitted highly sensitive user information—including menstrual cycles, sexual activity, pregnancy intentions, and location data—to third parties for targeted advertising purposes.
Lead plaintiff Erica Frasco and other users claimed this violated California’s Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA). The lawsuit stated Flo promised to keep user data private but did the exact opposite, selling intimate health details to tech companies that used the information to build advertising profiles.
On August 1, 2025, a San Francisco jury found Meta liable for violating CIPA, marking the first major verdict in period-tracking privacy litigation. Before and during trial, Google ($48M), Flo Health ($8M), and Flurry ($3.5M) reached separate settlements to avoid further litigation—though all three denied wrongdoing.
Settlement Breakdown and Current Status
As of February 2026, the $59.5 million combined settlement awaits final court approval. Attorneys filed the motion for preliminary approval on September 23, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Case No. 3:21-cv-00757-JD).
The settlement covers all U.S. Flo app users who entered menstruation and/or pregnancy information between November 1, 2016, and February 28, 2019. This includes anyone who selected pregnancy goals, logged period dates, tracked symptoms, or entered related health data during that timeframe.
California residents who used Flo during the class period qualify for a special subclass with enhanced payouts—receiving twice the pro rata share of other class members due to California’s stronger privacy protections under state law.
Who Qualifies for the Flo Settlement Payment?
You qualify if you meet these criteria: used the Flo Period & Ovulation Tracker app in the United States between November 1, 2016, and February 28, 2019; entered menstruation, pregnancy, or fertility information into the app during that period; and did not opt out of the settlement by the exclusion deadline (July 20, 2025).
California subclass members must have been California residents while using the app during the class period. If you meet these requirements, you don’t need to prove app usage with receipts or screenshots—you’ll submit a sworn statement confirming your eligibility under penalty of perjury.
How Much Money Will You Get?
Payment amounts depend on the total number of valid claims filed. Based on settlement terms, California residents receive double payments compared to other users.
If 100,000 total claims are filed from a $40 million net settlement fund (after attorney fees and costs), estimated payouts would be approximately $400 per California resident and $200 for other class members. However, if 1 million claims are filed, payments drop to roughly $80 for California residents and $40 for others.
The settlement agreement allocates one-third of the total fund to attorney fees ($19.8M), plus settlement administration costs, leaving approximately $35-40 million for class member payments. The final per-person amount won’t be known until after the claim deadline closes and all submissions are processed.
How To File Your Flo Settlement Claim
Once the court grants preliminary approval (expected February 2026), the official settlement website at www.PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com will publish claim forms and filing instructions. Here’s what to expect:
First, visit the settlement website and locate the claim form submission portal. You’ll provide your name, physical address (no P.O. boxes), email address, and phone number. California subclass members must check a box confirming California residency and consent to address verification.
Next, you’ll attest under penalty of perjury that you used the Flo app in the United States between November 1, 2016, and February 28, 2019, and entered menstruation or pregnancy information during that period. No receipts, app screenshots, or account confirmations are required—just your sworn statement.
Claim Deadline and Payment Timeline
The claim deadline will be announced after preliminary approval, typically 90-120 days after the court issues the preliminary approval order. Based on similar class action settlements like facebook, the deadline will likely fall in mid-to-late 2026.
Once you submit your claim, the settlement administrator will review it for completeness. If information is missing or needs correction, you’ll receive 20 days to provide additional details. Payments will be distributed 60-90 days after the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved—most likely in late 2026 or early 2027.
What You Must Know About the Settlement
The settlement includes Google ($48M), Flo Health ($8M), and Flurry ($3.5M), but excludes Meta. Although a jury found Meta liable on August 1, 2025, for violating CIPA by eavesdropping on Flo users’ sensitive health data, Meta chose not to settle and is pursuing an appeal.
Hidden Requirements and Common Mistakes
Many claimants make these errors: providing P.O. boxes instead of physical addresses (California verification requires a street address); failing to respond to deficiency notices within 20 days (resulting in claim rejection); and missing the claim deadline entirely because they assumed automatic enrollment.
Remember: You must file a claim to receive money, even though you’re automatically included in the settlement class. If you do nothing, you’ll be bound by the settlement’s terms and release claims against the defendants, but you won’t receive any payment.
California residents must verify their residency. If the settlement administrator cannot confirm your California address, you’ll receive the standard share instead of the enhanced double payment.
What the Lawsuit Means for Data Privacy
This settlement marks a turning point in health app accountability. The $59.5 million payout—combined with Meta’s $35 million jury verdict—sends a clear message that period-tracking apps must protect user privacy or face substantial financial consequences.
Flo stopped sharing sensitive health data with third-party analytics firms in January 2021 after settling with the Federal Trade Commission over similar allegations. The company now undergoes independent privacy audits and displays prominent privacy commitments on its website as part of the settlement agreement.
