Grindr

Grindr is pursuing a growth strategy with increased AI use, premium upgrades and an expansion of health and lifestyle services. The company reports about 15.5 million monthly active users and 1.5 million paying users, a doubling since 2022; revenue has nearly tripled since 2022. About 80–85% of the codebase is AI‑generated, developer productivity has increased fivefold compared with earlier capacity, and the AI‑powered premium tier EDGE is planned for rollout in late 2026/early 2027. Grindr is also building a health offering under the Woodwork brand and in partnership with OpenLoop that could reach the size of the core business within five years. » Mais em de.investing.com

Grindr has agreed to a settlement payment of £26 million (around €30 million) to resolve a class action in the UK over alleged disclosure of personal and sensitive user data. Plaintiffs accuse the dating app of, among other things, sharing HIV status with third parties without the required consent. Grindr denies the allegations but acknowledges the burden and loss of trust suffered by affected British users for a period before 2020 and points to a subsequent change in ownership. » Mais em n-tv.de

Grindr agreed a £26m settlement with thousands of UK users who claimed the app shared highly sensitive data, including HIV status, with advertisers during a period before 2020. The claim, brought by law firm Austen Hays on behalf of about 12,000 people, would yield average compensation of around £2,167 per person if distributed equally. Grindr said the settlement involves no admission of liability, attributed the practices to the pre-2020 period under previous ownership, and will pay £13m by year-end and £13m by March 2027. » Mais em theguardian.com
