Overview

• A San Francisco jury unanimously found that Meta intercepted and recorded intimate menstrual and fertility data from Flo between June 2016 and February 2019 without user consent.
• The court concluded Meta violated California’s Invasion of Privacy Act and wiretap statute by capturing Custom App Events sent through Flo’s Facebook SDK.
• Plaintiffs contend Meta used the intercepted data to fuel its ad-targeting networks and machine-learning algorithms for commercial gain.
• Flo Health, Google, and Flurry settled with the plaintiffs before the trial, leaving Meta as the sole defendant at verdict.
• Meta rejects the verdict, labels the claims false and vows to appeal as it explores all legal options.
