A class action claim filed against LGBTQ+ dating and hookup app Grindr alleges that "potentially thousands" of UK app users had their private information, including HIV statuses, shared with third parties. The claim, lodged on Monday by UK-based law firm Austen Hays, accuses Grindr of breaching UK data-protection laws by sharing sensitive information with third parties without users' consent. The information disclosed included users' HIV statuses, as well as data on their ethnicities, sex lives, and sexual orientations, according to a press statement provided to Business Insider. Austen Hays alleges that the data breaches occurred before April 2018 and between May 2018 and April 2020, "although they may extend to further periods," it said. It added that the data was shared with advertising companies Localytics and Apptimize, which the law firm said "would allow a potentially unlimited number of third parties to target and/or customize advertisements to its users." According to Austen Hays, Grindr received payment from the third and fourth parties it shared personal data with, and it alleges that companies retained some of this data after the advertisements had been served. With more of us finding love and connections online, the risk of extremely personal data being shared and potentially monetized is growing. |

Why in the world would they put their HIV status on the site?

Why would you disclose that info to a website? I think it is far more likely that the site aggregated info about them and made a logical conclusion that certain users had a higher likelihood than others to be infected. I would bet they can do the same for monkey pox.

every month or so I work on a guy who gets his HIV PCR Quant and other work done. every time he comes in his Dr has standing orders to test for ERRRRything.
every other month or so he rips positive for some sort of STD. he is a walking, talking STD Biostorage center. the last time he was positive for Syphilis and GC. |
