Our Steadfast Commitment to User Privacy: Addressing Recent Allegations

Contrary to recent claims, Grindr has never shared users' health-related data with any advertisers. Further, Grindr has not experienced a breach related to such information. There has been media coverage of a class-action lawsuit recently filed against Grindr in the U.K. regarding privacy practices from 2018 - 2020, which unfortunately relies on outdated information and mischaracterizes our former data handling practices. We’d like to take this opportunity to set the record straight.

Our commitment to user privacy, data protection, and transparency is unwavering. The allegations in the lawsuit are not correct and the policies relied on are not reflective of our current policies and have not been in effect for nearly five years. Grindr adheres to the highest industry standards and complies with all applicable U.K. regulations regarding data privacy.

We employ rigorous screening protocols for any partners we work with and provide industry-leading transparency about the limited circumstances in which user information may be shared. Our dedicated privacy team is committed to staying at the forefront of data protection best practices and maintaining the trust our users place in us.

We will vigorously defend ourselves against the aforementioned allegations.

To our valued users around the world, our commitment to protecting your data and upholding the highest standards of privacy is unwavering and non-negotiable. We look forward to upholding this commitment on our journey to make a world where the lives of our users and the global LGBTQ+ community are free, equal, and just.
