Ca: Weight Loss Grants posts customer health information without consent

Posted on June 3, 2019 by Dissent

Sean O’Shea reports:

A company that promised to pay customers for losing weight has posted personal information about clients, including their names, weights, weight loss goals and even facial photographs on its website.

Weight Loss Grants revealed the personal information without clients’ consent after news reports described how the organization failed to make payments to customers who qualified for the rebates.

Global News interviewed several customers who are owed as much as $1,900 by Weight Loss Grants, a scheme designed to attract people to register with an affiliated diet and weight loss company called Dalewood Health and Wellness.

And oh look, the firm is owned by Darren Morgenstern. If you don’t recognize his name, he’s reportedly the same person who had founded the Ashley Madison site.
