FTC v. Match

Match and OkCupid allegedly deceived users of its dating app by sharing their personal information, including photos and location information, with an unrelated third party, contrary to OkCupid’s privacy promises. The FTC alleged that OkCupid gave an unauthorized third party access to the personal data of millions of OkCupid users in violation of its privacy policies. The FTC also alleged that, since September 2014, Match and OkCupid took extensive steps to conceal and deny that OkCupid shared users’ personal information with the data recipient.
