Millions of Grindr users have had their precise location data collected from the gay dating app and sold to advertisers
Millions of Grindr users have had their location data stolen since at least 2017
The app sold the data so it could offer targeted ads based on users' location
The data did not disclose names or phone numbers, but was still detailed enough that one could infer information about the user's identity
Analysts claim the data could also be used to reveal a user's romantic partners
Grindr updated its privacy settings in 2020 to prevent advertisers from obtaining this data, but many analysts allege historical data can still be accessed
