This provision gives California users specific rights to limit how their most sensitive data is used, which is particularly significant given Grindr's user base and the nature of the data it holds.
Grindr collects highly sensitive personal data — including precise geolocation, sexual orientation, and HIV status — and has historically shared or sold this data with third-party advertising partners, creating significant privacy and safety risks for LGBTQ+ users. Data collected through the app may be used for targeted advertising and analytics, and third-party SDKs embedded in the app may independently collect user data. You can submit a data deletion or opt-out request through Grindr's privacy request portal at https://help.grindr.com/hc/en-us/requests/new or via the app's privacy settings.
