If you used the Flo Period & Ovulation Tracker app between November 2016 and February 2019, you may be owed money from a $59.5 million privacy settlement — no proof required.
Update (June 13, 2026): The Flo settlement claim form is now open — file by October 15, 2026. See our Flo settlement claim guide for eligibility, payout details, and how to file.
If you ever used the Flo Period & Ovulation Tracker app and entered information about your period or pregnancy between November 2016 and February 2019, you may be owed money from a $59.5 million settlement.
The lawsuit alleged that the Flo app secretly shared your most private health data — including menstrual cycle details, pregnancy status, and sexual activity — with Google, Meta (Facebook), and a data company called Flurry. The app promised your information would stay private. It didn't.
Three of the four defendants have agreed to pay: Google is paying $48 million, Flo Health is paying $8 million, and Flurry is paying $3.5 million. Meta refused to settle and went to trial — where a jury found them liable for wiretapping, with potential damages in the billions.
You don't need any proof. No receipts, no screenshots, no app logs. Just a simple claim form with your name and a sworn statement. Bookmark this page and we'll keep it updated as the case moves forward.

What Did the Flo App Do Wrong?
When you downloaded the Flo app, it asked you deeply personal questions — when was your last period, are you trying to get pregnant, details about your sexual activity. The app's privacy policy promised this information would stay private and would not be shared with third parties.But behind the scenes, Flo had embedded hidden tracking tools (called "software development kits" or SDKs) from Google, Meta, and Flurry inside the app. Every time you entered private health information, those tools quietly sent your data to these companies without your knowledge or consent.
Google and Flurry used the data for analytics. Meta used it for targeted advertising — meaning your private period and pregnancy data was being used to sell you ads.
This wasn't discovered until The Wall Street Journal reported on it in February 2019. Flo stopped sharing data with Facebook the very next day — which tells you they knew exactly what was happening.
The FTC investigated Flo separately and reached its own settlement in 2021, requiring the company to get users' permission before sharing health data going forward.
Who Qualifies for a Payout?
You may be eligible if all of the following apply to you:• You are in the United States
• You used the Flo Period & Ovulation Tracker app (on iPhone or Android)
• You entered menstruation or pregnancy information into the app
• You did this between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019
Important: It doesn't matter if you deleted the app. It doesn't matter if you only used it briefly. If you entered period or pregnancy data during that window, you likely qualify.
California residents get double. If you lived in California during that time period, you qualify for the California subclass and receive twice the payment of other class members.

How Much Will I Get Paid?
Payments are "pro rata" — that means the money gets divided equally among everyone who files a valid claim. The fewer people who file, the more each person gets.Plaintiffs' attorneys estimated average payouts between $25 and $96 per person, but the actual amount could be higher or lower depending on how many of the estimated 12–13 million eligible class members file claims.
Here's a real example of how it works:
Let's say after attorney fees and costs, the remaining fund is $40 million. If 100,000 people file valid claims (including 10,000 from California), that's 110,000 total "shares" (California members get 2 shares each). Each share would be worth about $364. So a nationwide member gets ~$364 and a California member gets ~$727.
The less people who file, the bigger each check. That's why filing early matters.
Do I Need Proof?
No. You do not need to upload any receipts, screenshots, or app download records. The claim form uses a sworn attestation — you just confirm under penalty of perjury that you used the app and entered menstruation or pregnancy data during the class period.You'll need to provide your name, mailing address (no P.O. boxes), email address, and phone number. California subclass members also check a box confirming California residency and consent to address verification.
If your claim form has any mistakes or is missing information, the settlement administrator will give you 20 days to fix it before rejecting it.
How Do I File a Claim?
The claim form is not available yet. It will go live after the judge grants preliminary approval of the settlement. Here's what we know about how to file once it opens:• File online: PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com
• File by mail: paper claim forms will be available from the settlement administrator, A.B. Data — see the official settlement website for instructions
You'll be able to choose how you want to receive your payment — electronic payment or paper check.

Why Hasn't the Claim Form Opened Yet?
The motion for preliminary approval was filed on September 23, 2025. Normally, judges approve these quickly. But in this case, Judge James Donato has held up the process over a dispute about how to notify people about the settlement.The judge wants the settlement administrator to post notices on TikTok to reach more potential class members. Flo Health's attorneys objected, saying they're worried about fraud and impersonation on the platform. The judge pushed back, essentially saying that TikTok is where people are, and skipping it would be like giving print notice but skipping a major newspaper.
The judge also said he's not happy with the projected 6% claims rate and wants the parties to find ways to push participation much higher.
Bottom line: The judge seems to support the settlement itself — he just wants more people to find out about it so more people can get paid. Once the notice plan is resolved, preliminary approval should follow.
What Happened With Meta? (The Big Story)
This is where the case gets really interesting. Google, Flo Health, and Flurry all agreed to settle. But Meta (Facebook) refused and took its chances at trial.Bad call.
On August 1, 2025, after a two-week trial in San Francisco, a unanimous jury found Meta liable for violating California's Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA). The jury agreed that Meta intentionally eavesdropped on users' private health conversations through the Flo app, that users had a reasonable expectation of privacy, and that Meta never got consent.
Under CIPA, the penalty is $5,000 per violation. With an estimated 1.4 to 1.6 million California class members, Meta's exposure could be $7 to $8 billion or more. Some analysts have suggested the theoretical maximum could reach as high as $190 billion if all 38 million class members are counted.
Meta tried to overturn the verdict. On September 15, 2025, Judge Donato denied all three of Meta's post-trial motions — class decertification, judgment as a matter of law, and a new trial. The judge said nothing in the evidence justifies disturbing the jury's unanimous verdict.
Meta is expected to appeal to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. But for now, the verdict stands — and the damages phase is proceeding.
What this means for you: Any damages awarded against Meta would be separate from and in addition to the $59.5 million settlement from Google, Flo, and Flurry. If you're in the California subclass, you could potentially receive money from both.
Who Is Paying the Settlement?
• Google LLC — $48,000,000 (settled July 3, 2025, before trial)• Flo Health Inc. — $8,000,000 (settled July 31, 2025, mid-trial)
• Flurry LLC — $3,500,000 (settled March 2025, before trial)
Meta Platforms Inc. — Not part of this settlement. Found liable by jury. Damages TBD (potentially billions).
None of the settling defendants admitted they did anything wrong. They settled to avoid the cost and risk of continued litigation.
Where Does the Money Go?
Here's how the $59.5 million gets split:• Attorneys' fees: Up to one-third (~$19.3 million) of each settlement fund
• Litigation costs: Up to $3.6 million
• Service awards: Up to $155,000 combined for the 8 named plaintiffs
• Administration costs: Settlement administrator expenses
• Everything else goes to you — divided pro rata among all valid claimants
Does This Affect Current Flo Users?
No. This case covers what happened between 2016 and 2019. Flo Health says it stopped sharing sensitive health data with outside companies in January 2021, as part of settling an FTC investigation. The company has since been audited and says it has implemented stronger privacy measures.As part of this settlement, Flo Health also agreed to display a prominent privacy notice on its website for one year after final approval, with a link to its updated privacy policy.
Can I Opt Out or Object?
Yes, but only after preliminary approval is granted. The court's notice will include instructions and deadlines for opting out or objecting to the settlement. The opt-out deadline for the earlier class certification notice was July 20, 2025, but new opt-out/objection windows will open with the settlement approval process.What Happens If I Do Nothing?
If you do nothing, you will remain part of the class and give up your right to sue over the claims covered by this settlement — but you will not receive any money. You must file a timely claim when the portal opens to get paid.Free settlement alerts

What's Next?
Right now, everything is waiting on Judge Donato to issue the preliminary approval order. Here's what needs to happen before anyone gets paid:Step 1: Notice plan gets resolved. The parties need to agree on how to notify class members about the settlement. The judge wants TikTok included. Flo Health doesn't. Until this is worked out, nothing moves forward.
Step 2: Preliminary approval is granted. Once the judge signs off, the official claim form goes live at PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com and the clock starts on the claims window (typically 60–120 days).
Step 3: You file your claim. Fill out the simple online form or mail it in. No proof needed — just your name, address, email, phone, and a sworn statement that you used the app during the class period.
Step 4: Fairness hearing and final approval. The judge holds a hearing where anyone can object. If the settlement is approved, claims get processed.
Step 5: Payments go out. Checks or electronic payments are sent to everyone with an approved claim. This typically takes a few months after final approval.
Meanwhile, the Meta case keeps going. Judge Donato still needs to determine damages against Meta after the jury verdict. Meta will almost certainly appeal to the 9th Circuit. That process could take years — but it doesn't affect or delay the $59.5 million settlement from Google, Flo, and Flurry. Those are two separate tracks.
Our best estimate: If the notice plan dispute is resolved soon, the claim form could open in spring 2026, with payments potentially arriving in late 2026 or early 2027. We'll update this page as soon as anything changes.
