FTC Sues Hims & Hers for Sharing Patient Data with Meta, Snap

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has filed a lawsuit against Hims & Hers, alleging the telehealth company shared customers' sensitive medical information with advertisers Meta and Snap. The FTC claims Hims & Hers used website tracking tools to transmit personal health data, including details about sexual wellness and mental health conditions, to the tech platforms without proper consent. The lawsuit targets the company's use of trackers that collected and sent data to Meta and Snap when patients filled out online forms or browsed the site. Hims & Hers, which offers prescriptions for conditions such as erectile dysfunction and anxiety, has not yet publicly responded to the allegations. The case underscores growing regulatory scrutiny over how health apps handle patient privacy, particularly when sharing data with third-party advertisers. The FTC's action follows similar enforcement against other digital health firms for unauthorized data sharing. The agency is seeking undisclosed penalties and an order to prevent future violations.
