See if you qualify for the $32 million GoodRx data privacy settlement and learn how to protect your health information
GoodRx has reached a $32 million settlement over data privacy claims, with affected users potentially eligible to receive a portion of the fund. The settlement relates to how the prescription discount platform handled users' personal health information.
Why this matters: People used GoodRx to save money on medication. They did not sign up to have their health data shared. Health information is about as personal as it gets — it can affect insurance, employment, and relationships. A $32 million settlement sounds large, but for a company that built a business on that data, it is closer to a line item than a reckoning. If you used GoodRx, check whether you qualify. And think twice about what any 'free' health tool is actually doing with what you tell it.
