Grindr collects sensitive health information including your HIV status and last test date if you choose to share it on your profile, and this information is treated as special category data under applicable law.
This analysis describes what Grindr's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The clause operationalizes voluntary health data publication by positioning profile disclosure as an opt-in feature. This establishes the procedural mechanism through which sensitive health information can be made visible to other platform users, subject to user selection rather than default automatic publication.
If you enter your HIV status on your Grindr profile, this information is stored by Grindr and subject to its data sharing and retention practices, meaning it could potentially be accessed by third parties or disclosed in a data breach.

"To better support the community's wellbeing, and at the recommendation of HIV prevention and health experts and the Grindr Community, we give you the option of publishing certain self-reported health characteristics, such as your HIV status, Last Tested Date, whether you are using PrEP or DoxyPEP, and/or vaccination status, in your public Grindr profile.— Excerpt from Grindr's Grindr Privacy Policy
HIV status constitutes special category data under GDPR Article 9 and sensitive personal information under CCPA/CPRA, requiring explicit consent and heightened data protection obligations; prior regulatory enforcement has cited inadequate handling of this data.
