Utah joins federal lawsuit against telehealth company Hims & Hers over data privacy concerns
Utah has joined an existing federal lawsuit targeting telehealth company Hims & Hers, citing data privacy concerns. The state's involvement signals growing regulatory scrutiny of how the company handles patient information.
Why this matters: Telehealth companies collect some of the most sensitive data that exists — symptoms, prescriptions, mental health details, sexual health information. People share that because they need care, not because they trust the company with it forever. When a state joins a federal lawsuit over privacy practices, it usually means regulators found something specific worth fighting over. If you have used Hims & Hers, your data is part of what this case is about. Watch what the lawsuit actually alleges when more details surface.
