OkCupid settled claims from the FTC regarding unauthorized sharing of user photos with Clarifai, a facial recognition company. The app allegedly provided access to nearly three million user photos along with demographic data, violating its privacy policy. Although OkCupid and Match Group did not admit wrongdoing, they committed to not misrepresenting data practices in the future. The settlement does not impose penalties or directly address the shared data, but includes compliance monitoring to ensure adherence to the agreement.
