Grindr pays £26m to settle UK lawsuit over allegedly sharing users’ HIV status
Grindr, the US‑based gay dating platform, agreed to pay £26 million to resolve a UK legal case accusing it of exposing users’ HIV status to advertising partners. The lawsuit claimed the company breached data‑protection rules by allowing third‑party firms to view sensitive health information without consent. The settlement ends the dispute without any admission of liability and avoids further legal action.
