Is GoodRx Care Legit?
GoodRx Holdings, Inc. paid a $1.5 million penalty to the FTC and DOJ in February 2023 for sharing users' sensitive health data with advertisers (including Meta and Google) without consent — a concluded, already-remediated case, not an open one. That date matters: this is a 2023 finding, not a 2026 one, and GoodRx was permanently barred from that specific practice as part of the settlement. No BBB profile found under this name.
Legal entity: GoodRx Holdings, Inc.. Scored 5.6/10, ranked #35 of 37 clinics we track.
Confirmed regulatory action on file
FTC, joined by the Department of Justice settlement with GoodRx Holdings, Inc. — settled 2023-02-17, $1,500,000 civil penalty.
Shared users' sensitive personal health information — including medication and health condition data — with advertising platforms (including Meta and Google) for years without consumer consent, and continued doing so after promising in its privacy policy not to, in violation of the FTC Act and the Health Breach Notification Rule.
Required remediation: Pay $1,500,000; permanently barred from sharing health data with third parties for advertising purposes; must obtain user consent before sharing health information for any other purpose; must direct third parties to delete previously shared data.
⚠️ This is a 2023 penalty, not a 2026 one — three years old and already fully concluded and paid, against the corporate parent (GoodRx Holdings, Inc.) rather than "GoodRx Care" as a named party specifically. A settled, remediated 2023 action is a different fact from an open 2026 case, and the review page states the date prominently so a reader can weigh it as such — not as breaking news.
A government enforcement action confirming or alleging deceptive billing, cancellation, or data-handling practices caps this provider's transparency score the same way an open FDA warning letter does — one cap regardless of how many actions are on file. See our editorial policy →
