Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul announced Friday that the state was joining a Federal Trade Commission lawsuit against telehealth provider Hims & Hers Health, according to a report by Wisconsin Public Radio.
Hims & Hers Health, which offers direct-to-consumer treatments for hair loss, weight loss and other conditions, is accused in the lawsuit of sharing sensitive health information of customers with third-party advertising platforms.
Wisconsin is one of seven states joining the lawsuit.
“Folks should be able to rely on representations that their privacy will be protected,” Kaul said in a press release. “And it’s particularly important that they be able to do so with respect to sensitive information about their health.”
