Grindr to stop sharing users’ HIV data with third-party firms
Grindr, a popular dating app for gay men, said it will stop sharing users' HIV data with third-party companies that analyze mobile and Web apps. The decision comes after BuzzFeed reported Monday that Grindr, used by 3.6 million daily active users worldwide, has been providing users' HIV status and their "last tested date" - information that Grindr users choose to include in their profiles - to two analytics companies.
