THE RECORD - Grindr is facing lawsuits and privacy controversies, including accusations of sharing users' HIV status without consent and past incidents involving data breaches. Chief Privacy Officer Kelly Peterson Miranda, who took over in 2023, defends Grindr's practices, asserting they are rigorous and that data sharing was mischaracterized. Despite past fines and accusations, she claims Grindr's privacy policies are robust and focused on user consent, especially under GDPR regulations. The company disputes allegations of retaining user data after account deletion and maintains that sharing data with limited service providers is necessary for app functionality.
