The Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday announced that GoodRx, a drug discount app, has agreed to pay a $1.5 million civil penalty for allegedly failing to report unauthorized disclosure of consumer health data to Facebook, Google, and other third-party digital companies such as Criteo, Branch, and Twilio. It was the first such enforcement action taken under the FTC's Health Breach Notification Rule.
As part of the settlement, the telehealth and prescription drug provider also will be prohibited from sharing user health data with applicable third parties for advertising purposes. That proposed order, filed by the Department of Justice on the FTC's behalf, must be approved by the federal court before it takes effect.
