> Don't know how GoodRx works, but been around long enough to know you're probably the product. - GoodRx was penalized $1.5m by the FTC 2/2023 [0] for sharing sensitive personal health information with third-party advertising companies (Facebook, Google, et al), without user consent. Then in 2024 it paid a $25m settlement arising from that action [1]. - GoodRx isn't subject to HIPAA, it can legally share "non-medical" information, i.e. your prescriptions, which often have a one-to-one (or one-to-few) correspondence to specific conditions. Hence, sidestepping HIPAA. - its business model relies on collecting user data, which may be a concern for privacy-conscious individuals.
