As previously disclosed, in April 2025, Grindr Inc. and Grindr LLC, its indirect and wholly-owned operating subsidiary (collectively, "Grindr"), were served with proceedings in the High Court of England and Wales, which proceedings were originally issued in April 2024, brought on behalf of UK Grindr users from a period up to early 2020 alleging violations of UK privacy laws.

On September 2, 2026, Grindr resolved the above-described UK group action related to historical data practices before 2020, when Grindr was owned and controlled by the Chinese conglomerate Kunlun. The settlement includes no findings or admission of liability. While Grindr disputes the allegations, it recognizes and acknowledges the distress and loss of trust expressed by some of its UK users regarding that pre-2020 period.

Six years ago Grindr was sold to new owners and appointed new management. Two years later it became a publicly listed company on the New York Stock Exchange.

Since 2020 Grindr has overhauled its privacy program with a keen focus on the unique needs of its community. Grindr is and remains a safe space for users, committed to transparency, user control, and responsible data practices. As part of the settlement, Grindr agreed to pay £13.0 million to the counterparties by December 31, 2026, and £13.0 million by March 31, 2027 (the equivalent of approximately $17.6 million, respectively, using the exchange rate as of September 3, 2026).
