Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Litigation From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred. The Company records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2025, amounts accrued for contingent losses were not material to its financial position. Norway Matter In January 2021, the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (“NDPA”) sent Grindr LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, an “Advance notification of an administrative fine” of 100,000 NOK (the equivalent of approximately $10,014 using the exchange rate as of September 30, 2025) for an alleged infringement of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The NDPA alleged that (i) Grindr LLC disclosed personal data to third party advertisers without a legal basis in violation of Article 6(1) GDPR and (ii) Grindr LLC disclosed special category personal data to third party advertisers without a valid exemption from the prohibition in Article 9(1) GDPR. Grindr LLC contested the draft findings and fine. In December 2021, the NDPA issued a reduced administrative fine against Grindr LLC in the amount of 65,000 NOK (the equivalent of approximately $6,520 using the exchange rate as of September 30, 2025). Grindr LLC filed an appeal with the NDPA. On November 24, 2022, Grindr Group and Kunlun Grindr Holdings Limited (“Kunlun”) entered into an escrow agreement providing for Grindr Group’s access to $6,500 of funds for the total amount payable, if any, by Grindr LLC following Grindr LLC’s appeal of the NDPA's decision to the NDPA and, as applicable to the Norwegian Privacy Appeals Board (the “NPAB”). On December 7, 2022, the NDPA upheld the reduced administrative fine against Grindr LLC and the appeal was sent to the NPAB for further consideration. On September 29, 2023, the NPAB issued its decision to uphold the NDPA's decision and fine of 65,000 NOK. On October 10, 2023, Grindr Group received $5,929 from the escrow account with Kunlun, (the equivalent of approximately 65,000 NOK using the exchange rate as of October 3, 2023). On July 1, 2024, the Oslo District Court upheld the prior decision and ordered Grindr to pay the government attorneys fees of approximately $50. On October 21, 2025, the Norwegian Appeals Court issued its decision, rejecting Grindr’s appeal of the Oslo District Court’s prior ruling and upholding the administrative fine of 65,000 NOK (the equivalent of approximately $6,520 using the exchange rate as of September 30, 2025). The Court of Appeal affirmed the findings of both the District Court and the Norwegian Privacy Appeal Board on all material points. Grindr has a one-month period, starting October 21, 2025, to lodge an appeal before the Supreme Court of Norway. Israeli Class Action In December 2020, Grindr LLC was named in a statement of claim and petition for certification of a class action in Israel (Israeli Central District Court). The statement of claims generally alleges that Grindr LLC violated users’ privacy by sharing information with third parties without their explicit consent and seeks various forms of monetary, declaratory, and injunctive relief, in addition to certification as a class action. After various filings, the parties reached a settlement in February 2025, which was approved by the court in July 2025, to which the class or the Israeli Attorney General have until late November 2025 to object. UK Group Action On April 15, 2025, the Company and Grindr LLC were served with proceedings in the English Court, which proceedings were originally issued in April 2024, brought by a UK law firm on behalf of 10,080 alleged Grindr users from a period between 2009 and 2020 alleging unlawful processing of their personal data in breach of UK data protection laws and misuse of their private information. On April 24, 2025, the UK law firm notified the Company and Grindr LLC that a second claim had been issued making identical claims on behalf of further Grindr users. The UK law firm has since confirmed that the second claim has been brought on behalf of 1,964 alleged users. By agreement, the first claim against the Company has been dismissed and the proceedings continue only against Grindr LLC. The second claim was served on Grindr LLC on October 17, 2025. At this time, it is too early to determine the likely outcome of these claims.
