The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has initiated legal action against Hims & Hers, a widely used weight-loss website, on charges of violating patient privacy and engaging in unfair billing practices.
This lawsuit asserts that the San Francisco-based company improperly shared sensitive patient data with third-party advertising platforms operated by Meta and Snap.
These allegations raise concerns about the handling of private health information and the company’s adherence to industry standards. The FTC’s move underscores the importance of privacy protection and ethical business practices in the digital health sector.
