The Flo settlement deadline is 15 October 2026, covering a $59.5 million fund paid by Google, Flo Health and Flurry over period and pregnancy data shared from the Flo app. Online claims are due by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time; posted forms must be postmarked that day. The class covers United States app users only.
Class counsel announced the countdown in a statement on 2 October 2026. The case is Frasco v. Flo Health, Inc., No. 3:21-cv-00757-JD, before Judge James Donato in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
Who Is in the Settlement Class
Eligibility turns on three things: where the app was used, when, and what was entered. The court-certified nationwide class, as set out in the settlement stipulation filed on 23 September 2025, is “All Flo App users in the United States who entered menstruation and/or pregnancy information into the Flo Health App between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019, inclusive.”
There is a second, narrower group. The California subclass is “All Flo App users in California who entered menstruation and/or pregnancy information into the Flo Health App while residing in California between November 1, 2016, and February 28, 2019, inclusive.”
Downloading the app is not enough on its own. The definitions require that menstruation or pregnancy information was actually entered inside that 28-month window. A user who installed Flo in 2020 is outside the class.
The California Double Share Requires Documents
This is where the widely repeated line that no proof is needed becomes misleading. A standard claim does not require receipts or screenshots; an attestation is enough. The doubled California payment is different.
The stipulation states that “Authorized Claimants that provide reasonable documentation showing they are residents of California will receive twice the pro rata share of Authorized Claimants who are residents of other states.”
Read plainly: the multiplier is conditional on documentation, not on ticking a box. A California claimant who files without it stands to be paid at the single nationwide rate. The agreement does not list which documents satisfy “reasonable documentation”, and leaves that to the settlement administrator.
How Much a Claim Might Be Worth
Nobody can yet say what an individual payment will be, because the arithmetic depends on how many people file. The agreement sets the method: each payment “shall be calculated by dividing the Net Settlement Fund by the number of Authorized Claimants that submit a valid Claim Form”, with California claimants counted as two shares.
The Net Settlement Fund is what is left of the $59.5 million after court-approved legal fees, litigation costs, administration expenses, taxes and service awards are deducted. None of those amounts are final until the court rules.
In their motion for final approval dated 20 August 2026, class counsel estimated an average recovery of $31.94 per class member if 10% of the class files a claim, and $12.69 if 25% files. Those are counsel’s own projections at two assumed claims rates, not guarantees, and the actual figure moves with the final claims count and the fees the judge allows.
Why the Figure Is Sometimes $56 Million
Readers comparing coverage will find two different totals. Both are correct, at different points in time, because three defendants settled separately.
| Defendant | Amount |
|---|---|
| Google LLC | $48 million |
| Flo Health, Inc. | $8 million |
| Flurry | $3.5 million |
| Combined fund | $59.5 million |
The earlier $56 million figure is Google and Flo alone. Flurry’s $3.5 million came later and lifted the combined total to $59.5 million. The stipulation confirms the Flo component directly, defining the “Flo Settlement Amount” as “Eight Million U.S. Dollars ($8,000,000)”.
Meta Is Not Paying Into This Fund
Meta Platforms was a defendant in the same litigation but did not settle, and no part of the $59.5 million comes from it. Claimants will not receive Meta money through this claim form.
Meta went to trial instead. In August 2025 a San Francisco jury found that Meta had violated Section 632 of the California Invasion of Privacy Act, the state wiretapping provision at issue for the California subclass. The court declined to set that verdict aside or decertify the class in September 2025, and Meta has said it will appeal.
Two things about the Meta outcome are frequently overstated. Damages have not been set: the jury decided liability, and the amount remains undetermined. And the verdict is not final while an appeal is available. Readus247 has covered earlier privacy actions against both companies, including a Google privacy settlement over Chrome’s Incognito mode and a $1.4 billion payment from Meta in Texas.
The Dates Still Ahead

|---|---|
| 22 April 2026 | Judge Donato granted preliminary approval of the settlements |
| 20 August 2026 | Class counsel filed the motion for final approval |
| 8 October 2026 | Deadline to object to the settlement |
| 15 October 2026 | Claim deadline: online by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, or postmarked |
| 29 October 2026 | Final approval hearing, 11:00 a.m., Courtroom 11, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco |
Claims are filed through the court-appointed administrator at PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com, the only official channel named in the notice and by class counsel. Class counsel of record are Carol C. Villegas of Labaton Keller Sucharow, Diana J. Zinser of Spector Roseman & Kodroff, and Christian Levis of Lowey Dannenberg, appointed for both the nationwide class and the California subclass. The class counsel case page carries the same class definitions and hearing details, and the 2 October 2026 statement set out the 15 October date.
What the Court Has Not Decided
As of 3 October 2026, the settlements are preliminarily approved only. The judge has not granted final approval, has not fixed legal fees or service awards, and has therefore not fixed the Net Settlement Fund that payments divide. No payment date has been published.
The agreement also anticipates that the court could change the allocation: it states that a different allocation plan approved by the court “will not be grounds to disturb or terminate the Settlement Agreement”. The doubled California share is the plan as filed, not a guaranteed outcome.
Payments to claimants do not begin until after final approval, and any appeal of that approval would delay distribution further.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Flo Settlement Deadline?
Claims must be submitted by 15 October 2026 — online by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, or posted so they are postmarked on that date. The separate deadline to object to the settlement was 8 October 2026.
Who Qualifies for a Payment?
People who used the Flo app in the United States between 1 November 2016 and 28 February 2019 and entered menstruation or pregnancy information during that period. Users who only installed the app, or who used it outside those dates, are not in the class.
Do Claimants Need to Prove Anything?
A standard claim requires an attestation rather than documents. The doubled California share is the exception: the settlement requires “reasonable documentation” of California residency for a claimant to be paid at twice the nationwide rate.
How Much Will Each Person Receive?
It is not yet fixed. Class counsel’s 20 August 2026 filing estimated $31.94 per class member at a 10% claims rate and $12.69 at 25%. The final figure depends on the number of valid claims and the fees the court approves.
Is Meta Part of This Settlement?
No. Meta did not settle and contributes nothing to the $59.5 million fund. A jury found Meta liable under California’s Invasion of Privacy Act in August 2025, but damages have not been set and Meta has said it will appeal.
When Will Payments Be Made?
No payment date has been announced. Distribution follows final approval, which the court was due to consider at a hearing on 29 October 2026, and any appeal would push it later.
