Google adds explicit consent to Flo Health partnership onboarding
Original: 'Google Health Coach onboarding incorporates explicit consent': I asked Google about its new multi-year partnership with Flo Health, in light of privacy concerns following the companies' $56 million lawsuit settlement
Google has confirmed a multi-year partnership with period and fertility tracking app Flo Health, integrating its health coach feature into user onboarding with explicit consent prompts. The move draws attention because both companies previously paid a combined $56 million to settle a lawsuit over privacy practices related to sensitive health data. Google says users must actively opt in before the feature activates, but privacy advocates remain wary about how menstrual health information is stored and shared between the two companies.
Why now: The partnership follows the companies' $56 million privacy lawsuit settlement, making users and reporters scrutinise how health data consent is now handled
