FTC sues Hims & Hers for allegedly sharing patient information with third-party platforms

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a lawsuit against Hims & Hers, a telehealth company, alleging it disclosed patients' sensitive health information to advertising platforms including Meta and Snap in violation of its privacy commitments. The company reportedly shared this data despite publicly promising to safeguard patient privacy.

Why it matters: Healthcare providers and digital platforms face enforcement action for privacy violations; practitioners should review their own data sharing agreements and privacy policies to ensure compliance with FTC standards and state health privacy laws.
