Hims & Hers sued over alleged health data privacy failures

The FTC (with Utah and California) sued telehealth provider Hims & Hers, alleging the company shared sensitive health data with third‑party ad platforms despite privacy promises, enrolled customers in recurring prescriptions and charged them before consultations, and made cancellation difficult via hidden or convoluted flows; the case underscores privacy risks from third‑party tracking/SDKs, dark patterns, and increasing regulatory scrutiny of health‑tech data practices.
