Listen to the news
Match Group MTCH.O settled a U.S. Federal Trade Commission lawsuit accusing it of giving an outside company access to personal data of millions of OkCupid users including photos, demographic information and location information, a court filing shows.
The FTC said OkCupid users were never told their information would be shared in 2014 with Clarifai, a facial recognition technology company, contrary to OkCupid's privacy policies.
Monday's settlement in Dallas federal court prohibits Match from misrepresenting the privacy of user information, and requires the Dallas-based company to certify compliance. Match neither admitted nor denied wrongdoing.
