Whoop class action alleges users’ health data shared without consent

Whoop class action lawsuit overview:

• Who: Plaintiff Steven Lomeli filed a class action lawsuit against Whoop Inc.
• Why: Lomeli claims Whoop shares users’ sensitive health data with a third party without their knowledge or consent.
• Where: The Whoop class action was filed in California federal court.

A new class action lawsuit accuses Whoop of sharing its users’ sensitive health data with an undisclosed third party without their knowledge or consent.

Plaintiff Steven Lomeli filed the class action complaint against Whoop Inc. on Aug. 13 in a California federal court, alleging violations of federal and state privacy laws.

Whoop is a health and wellness company that offers a fitness tracker and app that tracks users’ vitals and health metrics, such as heart rate, sleep, recovery, and blood pressure, Lomeli says.

The app also provides personalized guidance and educational videos to help users improve their health, he adds.

Lomeli argues that Whoop shares users’ in-app activity and vitals with an undisclosed third party, Segment, without informing them or seeking their consent.

He claims Whoop shares users’ stress levels, resting heart rate, vital health indicators, and the titles of videos they viewed, among other information, with Segment, which collects and analyzes the data.

Whoop allegedly misled users about data protection

The class action lawsuit claims Whoop misled users by assuring them that their data is “private and protected” and that it “never sells” their information.

Lomeli says Whoop’s privacy policy states that it only uses aggregated or de-identified data for research purposes and that it is committed to protecting users’ privacy and security. He wants to represent anyone in the United States who watched a video in the Whoop mobile app within the last two years, and all California residents who purchased a Whoop membership.

The Whoop class action lawsuit alleges violations of the Video Privacy Protection Act and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act and seeks damages of $2,500 per violation of the VPPA and $1,000 per violation of the CMIA, plus punitive damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees.
