VANCOUVER - A British Columbia Supreme Court judge says a class-action lawsuit can move forward over alleged privacy breaches against a company that made an app to track users' menstrual and fertility cycles. The ruling published online Friday says the action against Flo Health Inc. alleges the company shared users' highly personal health information with third-parties, including Facebook, Google and other companies.

Damn man, my gf pays for this app. That's how we track her days. Corpos even know when we're probably having sex now D:.

TL;DW: The Nissan privacy policy ~~states~~ stated that they can collect and store information about your sexual activity for some reason.

Note: the page seems to have been updated to remove that wording, but you can see it archived on the Way Back Machine from when the video was released.

Edit: spelling
