BBC – Grindr has agreed to pay £26M to settle a lawsuit alleging it shared users’ sensitive data, including HIV status, sexual orientation and ethnicity, with third parties. The case has more than 11,000 claimants and relates to data practices before 2020, when Grindr was owned by Chinese company Kunlun. Grindr will pay £13M by the end of 2026 and another £13M by March 2027. Grindr says it stopped sharing HIV data with those companies and has overhauled its privacy practices since 2020.
