A claim has been lodged in London against Grindr for allegedly revealing users’ HIV status. According to the claim, Grindr shared sensitive data with third parties for commercial purposes prior to April 2018, and again between May 2018 and April 2020, in breach of the UK’s data privacy laws. It included information about HIV status, ethnicity and users’ sexual orientation. Lawyer Chaya Hanoomanjee said: “Grindr owes it to the LGBTQ+ community it serves to compensate those whose data has been compromised”.
