Cerebral, Inc.(Cerebral)
The FTC settled with telehealth firm Cerebral, Inc. for sharing sensitive consumer mental health data with third parties like LinkedIn, Snapchat, and TikTok for advertising without proper consent, employing sloppy security practices, and misleading consumers about cancellation policies. Cerebral must pay over $7 million (with $2 million due upfront), is permanently banned from using health information for most advertising, must implement a comprehensive privacy program, delete unnecessary data, and provide easy cancellation.
