By Ashley Robinson A major class action involving the Flo Period & Ovulation Tracker app has reached a proposed $59.5 million settlement with three defendants. The case, Frasco et al. v. Flo Health Inc. et al., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
Users alleged that sensitive information entered into Flo was transmitted to analytics and technology companies without proper notice or consent. The defendants denied wrongdoing, and the settlements are not admissions of liability.
What users alleged
According to the lawsuit, third-party software tools in Flo allegedly sent “app event” data to analytics and advertising companies. Plaintiffs claimed those events could reveal details about a user’s menstrual cycle or pregnancy status.
The disputed conduct occurred between November 1, 2016, and February 28, 2019. Users argued that Flo’s privacy promises led them to believe this information would remain confidential. Their claims included alleged violations of federal and California privacy laws, including the California Invasion of Privacy Act.
The Federal Trade Commission brought a separate case against Flo in 2021 over similar allegations. Flo agreed to consent requirements, user notifications, and an independent privacy review.
How the $59.5 million fund is divided
Google agreed to contribute $48 million, Flo Health agreed to pay $8 million, and Flurry agreed to provide $3.5 million. Together, the three agreements create a $59.5 million settlement fund.
The fund will cover valid claims, court-approved fees and expenses, administration, and any approved service awards. Preliminary approval was granted on April 22, 2026. The final approval hearing is scheduled for October 29, 2026.
No payment is guaranteed at this stage. The settlements must receive final approval, claims must be reviewed, and any appeals must be resolved before money can be distributed.
Who may be included
The nationwide settlement class generally includes people who used the Flo app in the United States from November 1, 2016, through February 28, 2019, and entered menstruation or pregnancy information during that period. A California subclass covers qualifying users who lived in California and used the app there during the same period.
The defendants, certain employees and court officials, and users who previously opted out are excluded. The opt-out deadline has passed.
People should read the official notice carefully. Merely downloading the app may not be enough; the class definition requires qualifying use and entry of the covered information.
How to submit a claim
Eligible users must submit a valid claim online by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on October 15, 2026. A paper claim may also be mailed, but it must be postmarked by that date.
Applicants must certify under penalty of perjury that they lived in the United States and entered covered information into Flo during the class period. California residents must provide additional subclass information.
Filing is free. Applicants should use only the official settlement website and should never pay a third party or disclose a Flo password.
How much could each person receive?
The exact payment has not been announced. Approved claimants will receive a proportional share of the money remaining after approved deductions. The final amount will depend largely on the number of valid claims.
Qualifying California subclass members receive a larger allocation. No applicant should rely on unofficial promises of a fixed payment. Awards will be calculated after claims close and the approval process is complete.
Meta remains a separate part of the case
Meta did not join the settlement. In August 2025, a federal jury found it liable for intentionally intercepting private communications from Flo users. Meta disputed the claims.
The official settlement website states that a person’s decision regarding the Flo, Google, and Flurry settlements will not affect any right to money connected with the Meta verdict. Eligible users will be contacted separately if compensation from that verdict becomes available.
What users should remember
The immediate deadline is October 15, 2026. Former Flo users should verify the covered dates and submit a claim only if their information is accurate. They should save the confirmation received after filing and keep their contact details current with the settlement administrator.
The case shows why reproductive-health information deserves special care. Consumers should review permissions, privacy settings, and data-sharing disclosures before entering sensitive information. This article is general information and not legal advice.
