Has the Flo App settlement been approved?

Preliminarily, yes. On April 22, 2026, Judge James Donato signed the formal preliminary approval order for the renewed Flo Health and Google settlements following the April 16, 2026 hearing. The Flurry portion of the $59.5 million combined settlement was preliminarily approved separately back in May 2025. The final approval hearing is scheduled for October 29, 2026. Until the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved, no payments will be issued. The Flo Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation claim form is expected to go live shortly as the Settlement Administrator rolls out the court-approved notice plan.

When will the Flo App claim form open?

The Flo Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation claim form will open at PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com once the Settlement Administrator (A.B. Data, Ltd.) executes the court-approved notice plan following the April 22, 2026 preliminary approval order. Class members typically have 90 to 120 days from the official notice date to file. The final approval hearing is scheduled for October 29, 2026, and payments are not expected until 2027.

Why was the Flo settlement initially denied in December 2025?

Judge Donato denied initial preliminary approval in December 2025 because he was not satisfied with the projected 6% claims rate and wanted the parties to expand the notice plan to drive participation into the high double digits. The judge specifically pressed for inclusion of TikTok in the notice plan, which Flo Health initially opposed. The renewed motion filed February 27, 2026 addressed those concerns, and the parties returned for the April 16, 2026 hearing where the court agreed to grant preliminary approval. Judge Donato signed the formal preliminary approval order on April 22, 2026.

Is the Flo settlement separate from the Meta verdict?

Yes. The $59.5 million Flo Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation settlement covers Flo Health Inc. ($8 million), Google LLC ($48 million), and Flurry LLC ($3.5 million). Meta refused to settle and went to trial. On August 1, 2025, a federal jury found Meta liable for violating Section 632 of the California Invasion of Privacy Act by intercepting Flo App users' menstruation and pregnancy information. Meta is appealing the verdict. Any Meta recovery is separate from this $59.5 million settlement. Flo class members who file a claim under this settlement do not give up rights to receive money from a future Meta judgment, and the Settlement Administrator has stated that affected users will be contacted separately about Meta payments at a later time.

Do I need proof I used the Flo App to file a claim?

No technical proof is required. Class members file by submitting their name, address, email, and phone number, and attesting under penalty of perjury that they used the Flo Period and Ovulation Tracker app in the United States between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019, and entered menstruation or pregnancy information during that time. California Subclass members confirm California residency during the class period for the double share. Receipts, app screenshots, and account statements are not required, though they can support a claim if requested. If a claim form is incomplete, the Settlement Administrator allows 20 days to cure the deficiency.

Flo Period Tracker Settlement Update May 2026: $59.5M Class Action Wins Preliminary Approval

Q: How much will Flo App users get from the settlement?

Flo App settlement payouts will be calculated pro rata from the Net Settlement Fund (the $59.5 million gross fund minus attorneys' fees of up to 32.5% and administration costs). Third-party estimates have ranged from $50 to over $400 per claimant, depending on how many people file. California Subclass members receive twice the pro rata share that nationwide-only class members receive, because California's Confidentiality of Medical Information Act and California Invasion of Privacy Act provide stronger statutory damages. The minimum payment threshold is $1.00; claims calculated below that are not paid.

• When you get paid: Likely 2027, after the Oct. 29, 2026 final approval hearing and any appeals.

Where the Case Stands Heading Into May 2026

On April 22, 2026, Judge James Donato signed the preliminary approval order for the renewed Flo and Google settlements. The final fairness hearing is set for October 29, 2026. The case has moved past the December 2025 setback and is now on a defined track to final approval and payment.

For users who entered menstruation or pregnancy data into the Flo App between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019, this is the most significant development in months. The official notice plan is rolling out now, and the claim form is expected to go live shortly. Once it does, claimants will have roughly 90 to 120 days to file. Payments are likely to arrive in 2027.

What Is the Flo Period Tracker Class Action About?

The Flo class action, captioned Frasco et al. v. Flo Health Inc., et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00757-JD, is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California before Judge James Donato. Class representatives alleged that between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019, Flo Health Inc. embedded software development kits (SDKs) from Flurry LLC, Meta Platforms Inc. (formerly Facebook), and Google LLC into the Flo Period and Ovulation Tracker app. According to the consolidated complaint, those SDKs collected and transmitted highly sensitive Flo App user information, including menstrual cycle data, pregnancy intentions, ovulation tracking, and persistent device identifiers, to the third-party defendants without users' valid consent.

Plaintiffs alleged that Flo violated California's Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, intruded upon seclusion, breached its contracts with users, and violated the California Constitution's right to privacy. Plaintiffs alleged that Flurry, Google, and Meta violated Section 632 of the California Invasion of Privacy Act through their alleged interception of the Flo App data. Flo, Google, and Flurry each deny wrongdoing and any violation of law, but agreed to settle to eliminate the burden, expense, and uncertainty of continued litigation. Meta refused to settle and went to trial.

Why This Settlement Matters

Most data privacy cases involve credit cards that can be reissued. This one involves reproductive health data, which can't. Three things follow from that:

• California gets double. Menstruation, pregnancy, and ovulation data are exactly what California's medical privacy laws were written to protect. That's why California Subclass members get 2x the share.
• It's a damages payout, not a fix. The data sharing happened from 2016 to 2019. Whatever was shared has likely been in ad-tech systems for years. The settlement pays for past harm.
• Meta is separate — and bigger. Meta refused to settle and lost at trial. The eventual Meta judgment, on top of this $59.5M, could make the combined recovery the largest privacy class action in U.S. history.

Did Flo Stop Sharing Data? The 2021 FTC Settlement and What Changed

The Flo Period Tracker class action covers conduct from November 1, 2016 through February 28, 2019, but readers often ask whether Flo App data sharing is still happening today. The short answer is no, at least not in the same form, and the reason traces to a separate Federal Trade Commission investigation that resolved in early 2021.

In January 2021, Flo Health agreed to settle FTC allegations that the company had shared sensitive reproductive-health information from the Flo App with third-party data analytics providers in violation of Flo's own privacy policy. As part of that FTC consent order, Flo agreed to stop sharing the categories of data at issue without obtaining users' affirmative consent, to undergo independent privacy audits, and to notify users whose information had been shared. The Flo class action settlement now pending in the Northern District of California is a separate proceeding that addresses consumer damages for the same underlying conduct.

As part of the $59.5 million Flo class action settlement, Flo Health also agreed to display a prominent privacy notice on its website for one year following final approval, with a link to its updated privacy policy. The Flo settlement is therefore primarily a damages recovery for past conduct, layered on top of the forward-looking privacy commitments Flo made to the FTC in 2021.

30-Second Self-Test: Are You Eligible for the Flo Class Action Settlement?

You likely qualify for the Flo Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation settlement if all of the following are true:

• You used the Flo Period and Ovulation Tracker app in the United States.
• You used the app at any point between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019.
• You entered menstruation and/or pregnancy information into the Flo App during that period.
• You did not previously opt out of the certified class during the June 2025 class certification notice (the opt-out deadline was July 20, 2025).
• You are not excluded by class definition (defendants, their officers and directors, judges, counsel, and a few similar exclusions).

If all five are true, you are a member of the Flo nationwide class. If you also resided in California at any point during the class period and used the app while living in California, you are also a member of the California Subclass and receive twice the nationwide pro rata share.

What Happened at the April 16, 2026 Flo Settlement Hearing

The April 16, 2026 hearing was the parties' second attempt at preliminary approval. Judge Donato had denied the initial preliminary approval motion in December 2025, sending the parties back to address two specific concerns:

• The 6% projected claims rate was too low. Judge Donato called the projected participation rate a failure and pressed the parties to revise the notice plan to drive class member participation into the high double digits. In other privacy class actions of similar size, claims rates above 20% are achievable when the notice plan is aggressive.

• The notice plan needed broader reach. The court specifically pressed the parties to include TikTok in the digital notice plan. Flo Health's counsel had initially opposed TikTok inclusion, citing concerns about fraud and impersonation risk on the platform. Judge Donato pushed back, drawing an analogy that excluding TikTok from the notice plan was like running a print notice campaign while skipping the largest newspaper.

On February 27, 2026, plaintiffs' counsel filed a renewed motion for preliminary approval that addressed the notice plan concerns. After Meta filed an opposition on March 13, 2026, and plaintiffs filed a reply on March 20, 2026, the parties returned to court on April 16, 2026. At that hearing, Judge Donato indicated from the bench that he intended to grant preliminary approval. On April 22, 2026, the court signed the formal preliminary approval order, scheduling the final fairness hearing for October 29, 2026 and clearing the way for the Settlement Administrator to execute the court-approved notice plan and open the Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation claim portal.

Flo Settlement Payout: How Much Will I Get?

The Flo Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation settlement creates a $59.5 million combined settlement fund, structured across three separate settlement agreements with three different defendants:

• Google LLC: $48 million. Google's settlement is the largest portion of the Flo class action fund, reflecting the scope of Google's alleged SDK-based data receipt and the strength of plaintiffs' California Invasion of Privacy Act claims against Google.

• Flo Health Inc.: $8 million. Flo settled mid-trial on July 30, 2025, after jury selection had already taken place. Flo also agreed to display a prominent privacy notice on its website for one year following final approval.

• Flurry LLC: $3.5 million. Flurry, which is in the process of corporate dissolution, settled first in March 2025. Judge Donato preliminarily approved the Flurry settlement in May 2025, separately from the Flo and Google settlements.

After deductions for attorneys' fees (up to 32.5% of the combined Flo fund), litigation expenses, settlement administration costs, taxes, and service awards for the eight named plaintiffs, the Net Settlement Fund will be distributed pro rata to authorized claimants. Class counsel has indicated that estimated Flo payouts could range roughly from $12 to $32 per person under one scenario with a high claim volume, or up to a few hundred dollars per person if claim volume is lower. Third-party sources have estimated payouts in a similar range, generally between $50 and $400 per claimant. California Subclass members receive twice the pro rata share of nationwide-only class members. The minimum payment threshold is $1.00; calculated payments below that are not paid because issuing a check would cost more than the payment itself.

Worked example. Assume a $40M net fund and 100,000 valid claims (10,000 California Subclass + 90,000 nationwide). California members count as 2 shares each:

Net settlement fund	$40,000,000
Total shares	110,000 (90,000 nationwide + 20,000 California)
Per share	~$364
Non-California payout	~$364
California Subclass payout	~$727 (2 shares)

Numbers are illustrative. Actual payouts depend on the final fee award, the number of valid claims, and the court's ruling on October 29, 2026.

When Will the Flo Period Tracker Claim Form Open?

The Flo Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation claim form has not opened yet, but the timeline is now defined. As of the May 2026 publication window, here is where the case stands:

• April 16, 2026: Preliminary approval hearing held; Judge Donato signaled from the bench that he would grant preliminary approval.
• April 22, 2026: Judge Donato signed the formal preliminary approval order for the Google and Flo Health settlements. (The Flurry portion was preliminarily approved separately back in May 2025.)
• May 2026 (current window): A.B. Data, Ltd. (the Settlement Administrator) is in the process of executing the court-approved notice plan. Email and short-form notice will go to identifiable Flo App class members, with broader digital notice rolling out across paid placements. The long-form notice and claim form are expected at PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com once notice goes live.
• Claim window opens: Once notice is issued, the claim portal goes live with a deadline typically 90 to 120 days from the notice date.
• October 29, 2026: Final approval hearing. Judge Donato will hold the final fairness hearing in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division. At this hearing, the court will decide whether to grant final approval to the Flo, Google, and Flurry settlements, rule on attorneys' fees and service awards, and address any objections.
• 2027: Payments distributed. Most likely some time in 2027, after final approval and any appeals. The official Flo settlement notice warns that distribution can take a year or more after final approval, especially if any appeals are filed.

How to File a Flo App Class Action Claim (When the Portal Opens)

When the Flo Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation claim form opens, the filing process is designed to be simple and proof-light:

• Online filing: Visit the official Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation website. Provide your name, current address, email, phone number, and (if applicable) the email address you used with your Flo App account.
• Sworn attestation, no technical proof required: You attest under penalty of perjury that you used the Flo App in the United States during the November 1, 2016 to February 28, 2019 class period and entered menstruation or pregnancy information during that time. Receipts, app screenshots, and account confirmations are not required, though they can support your claim if requested.
• California Subclass box: If you resided in California at any point during the class period and used the Flo App while living in California, check the California Subclass box. This doubles your pro rata share. The Settlement Administrator may verify California residency.
• Mail filing: Class members can also file by mail using the paper claim form available through the official Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation website.
• 20-day cure period: If your Flo claim form is incomplete, the Settlement Administrator will give you 20 days from written notice to fix the deficiency before the claim is denied.
• Confirmation receipt: Online filers receive a printable Confirmation of Claim Receipt screen as proof of submission.

Flo Settlement and the Meta Verdict: How They Connect (and Why They're Separate)

The Flo class action originally named four corporate defendants: Flo Health, Google, Flurry, and Meta. Three of those four defendants settled and are part of the $59.5 million Flo Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation settlement. Meta refused to settle and went to trial.

The Flo trial against Meta began on July 21, 2025, in San Francisco. After a two-week trial, the jury returned a verdict on August 1, 2025 in favor of plaintiffs, finding Meta liable for violating Section 632 of the California Invasion of Privacy Act by intercepting Flo App users' menstruation and pregnancy data through Meta's SDK integration with the Flo App. Plaintiffs proposed statutory damages of $5,000 per Flo class member under CIPA, an amount that, applied across the certified Flo class, could put Meta's potential damages exposure in the multi-billion-dollar range. Meta has appealed the verdict, and post-trial motions remain pending.

For Flo App users, the practical bottom line is straightforward: the $59.5 million Flo Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation settlement and the Meta verdict are separate recoveries. Filing a Flo settlement claim does not waive the right to receive money from a future Meta judgment. The September 2025 Flo class notice expressly stated that individuals eligible to receive money from the Meta verdict will be contacted at a later time, and that Flo class members' election in response to the Flo settlement notice does not affect their right to receive any future Meta payment.

Is the Notice a Scam? How to Verify

A $59.5M settlement is a magnet for phishing. Use these checks:

• The only official site is PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com. The administrator is A.B. Data, Ltd.
• Filing is free. Anyone asking for payment is a scam.
• No legitimate notice asks for your Social Security Number, crypto, or gift cards.
• You will never be asked for your Flo password or banking login.
• Ignore shortened links in texts and emails. Type the URL yourself.

What Flo App Users Should Do Right Now

With Flo preliminary approval now granted, here is the short checklist for Flo App users who think they qualify:

• Bookmark the official Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation site and check it regularly through May and June 2026 for the official notice and the activation of the claim portal.
• Locate any old email addresses you may have used to register your Flo App account during 2016 to 2019. Notice may go to that email address rather than your current primary address.
• Add the A.B. Data, Ltd. Settlement Administrator domain to your safe-sender list so legitimate Flo notices do not get filtered as spam.
• Confirm whether you lived in California at any point during the November 2016 to February 2019 class period. If yes, you qualify for the California Subclass and the 2x share.
• If you previously opted out of the certified class during the June 2025 notice window, you cannot file a Flo settlement claim and cannot opt in now. The opt-out deadline was July 20, 2025 and has passed.
• Track the case docket through PACER if you want real-time updates on when the Settlement Administrator's notice plan documents are filed and when the claim portal goes live. The case is Frasco et al. v. Flo Health Inc., et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00757-JD (N.D. Cal.).

Lawyers Representing Flo Class Members

The court has appointed three Class Counsel firms to represent the nationwide class and California Subclass: Christian Levis of Lowey Dannenberg, P.C.; Carol C. Villegas of Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP; and Diana J. Zinser of Spector Roseman & Kodroff, P.C. Class Counsel will request attorneys' fees not to exceed 32.5% of the combined $59.5 million Flo settlement fund (broken out as 20% of the Flurry settlement and 33.3% of the Flo and Google settlements), plus litigation expenses and service awards for the named plaintiffs. The court may award less than the amounts requested. Whether the Flo settlements are finally approved does not depend on whether or how much the court awards in attorneys' fees, expenses, or service awards.
