Where the Flo Settlement Stands Right Now
The Flo period-tracker privacy case has reached the stage that matters most for app users: the claim form is open. Flo Health, Google, and Flurry agreed to pay a combined $59.5 million to resolve claims that the Flo Period and Ovulation Tracker app shared users' menstruation and pregnancy data with third-party ad-tech companies between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019. Judge James Donato granted preliminary approval on April 22, 2026, and the Settlement Administrator has since opened the claim portal at the official Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation website.If you used the Flo App in the United States during that window and entered menstruation or pregnancy information, you can file a claim now — no receipts, screenshots, or other proof required. Online claims are due by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on October 15, 2026. The final approval hearing is set for October 29, 2026, and payments are expected in 2027 after final approval and any appeals.

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. The exact per-person amount is not yet determined and will depend on the final fee award and the number of valid claims filed once the claim period opens. Figures discussed in court filings and elsewhere have ranged widely, from roughly $12 to $32 per person under a high-claim-volume scenario to a few hundred dollars per person if claim volume is lower. California Subclass members are expected to 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. Any specific dollar figures available now are illustrative estimates, not guaranteed amounts.
Worked example (illustrative only). The following is a hypothetical to show how the pro rata math works; it is not a prediction of what any class member will receive. 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.
The Flo Period Tracker Claim Form Is Now Open
The Flo Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation claim form is open at the official settlement website. Eligible class members must submit an online claim by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on October 15, 2026, or mail a paper claim form postmarked by that date. Filing is free and requires no proof — just a sworn attestation that you used the Flo App during the class period. For a full walkthrough of eligibility, payout, and how to file, see our Flo settlement claim guide.Because the final approval hearing is scheduled for October 29, 2026, and payments follow final approval and any appeals (likely 2027), the key step now is simply to file before the October 15, 2026 deadline. 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 to June 2026 (post-approval): A.B. Data, Ltd. (the Settlement Administrator) executed the court-approved notice plan — email and short-form notice to identifiable Flo App class members plus broader digital notice — and published the long-form notice and claim form at PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com.
• Claim window open — deadline October 15, 2026: The claim portal is live. Submit online by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on October 15, 2026, or mail a paper claim form postmarked by that 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
The Flo Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation claim form is open, and the filing process is simple and proof-light:• Online filing: Visit the official Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation website.

• 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.

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 takeaway 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:• File your claim at the official Period Tracker Data Privacy Litigation site, which is now live, before the October 15, 2026 deadline — or use our Flo settlement claim guide to walk through it.
• 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.Official Settlement Notice
