Match Group and OkCupid settled a lawsuit with the FTC regarding the sharing of user data, including photos and location information, with Clarifai in 2014. The FTC claimed OkCupid violated its privacy policy by sharing three million user photos without informing users or allowing them to opt out. OkCupid stated it has strengthened its privacy practices over the years.
