What happened with the Flo settlement

In September 2025, a combined $59.5M settlement resolved class action lawsuits against Flo Health, Google, and Flurry over sharing user reproductive health data. The FTC had previously taken enforcement action against Flo in 2021 for sharing period data with Facebook and Google without user consent.

Is Flo safe to use now

Flo launched Anonymous Mode after the FTC action, but it requires a premium subscription. The underlying architecture remains cloud-based — your data exists on Flo's servers. Post-settlement compliance measures add oversight, but the architecture hasn't changed. Your data still lives on a server that can be subpoenaed.

Can I export my data from Flo before switching

Flo offers a data export function under GDPR and privacy regulations. Export your data before deleting your account. Note that on-device trackers like Floriva, Euki, and Drip don't have direct import from Flo — you may need to manually re-enter historical data.

Is Clue the same as Flo

No. Clue is a German company operating under GDPR with different privacy practices than Flo. Clue has not faced FTC enforcement. However, Clue is still cloud-based — your data exists on their servers in Germany. The GDPR provides stronger protections than US law, but the data is still server-stored.

Flo shared your period data with Facebook and Google. The FTC confirmed it in 2021. A $59.5M combined settlement resolved the class action in September 2025. If you're reading this, you're probably deciding what to use instead. Here are four alternatives evaluated on the only question that matters: what happens to your data. Why Users Are Leaving Flo The FTC found that Flo shared sensitive health data — period dates, pregnancy status, symptom information — with Facebook, Google, and third party analytics firms through embedded SDKs. Users who logged their most intimate health data did so believing it was private. It wasn't. Flo launched Anonymous Mode in response, but it requires a premium subscription. Privacy as an upsell, after the company was caught violating it for free tier users. The architecture remains cloud based. Your data still lives on Flo's servers.
