Grindr Pays £26 Million To Settle UK Suit Over Users' HIV Status

Grindr Pays £26 Million To Settle UK Suit Over Users' HIV Status

Grindr will pay £13 million by year's end and £13 million more by March 2027, admitting no wrongdoing from its Kunlun-owned years.

  • The £26 million settlement, dated Sept. 2, 2026, resolves a case filed in April 2024.
  • Grindr owes £13 million by Dec. 31, 2026, and £13 million more by March 31, 2027.
  • The claims target data shared before 2020, when China's Kunlun still owned Grindr.

Why it matters: Paying to end a lawsuit without admitting fault settles the case, not the question of what was done.
