Source: BBC News [UK state media]

“Grindr has agreed to pay £26m to settle a lawsuit over allegations it shared users’ personal information – including their HIV status – with third parties. The world’s largest LGBTQ+ dating app was sued in the High Court in 2024 over claims it misused people’s personal information. The class action suit was later served in the US, with the law firm leading the case saying it had signed up more than 11,000 claimants. According to a US regulatory filing, Grindr will make two £13m payments to settle the claims. The firm said the settlement includes no admission of liability.” (09/07/26)
