Bumble updated its privacy policy on March 19, 2026 to specify that its network infrastructure includes servers located in the US, UK, and the EU, rather than the previous statement that listed only the US and EU. This clarification identifies the UK as an additional jurisdiction where user data may be processed and stored.
The updated policy clarifies that Bumble operates servers in the US, UK, and EU. Previously, the policy listed only the US and EU. This change makes explicit that user data may be processed and stored in UK data centers in addition to those in the US and EU. The change does not alter how data is collected, used, or protected; it clarifies the geographic scope of server infrastructure already in use.
The updated policy clarifies that user data processing occurs in UK data centers in addition to the US and EU. This affects how data location and international transfer disclosures are presented to users and impacts compliance obligations under UK and EU data protection law, particularly regarding the adequacy of transfer mechanisms between jurisdictions.
Policy now explicitly names UK as a server jurisdiction in addition to US and EU
This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This change is a jurisdictional clarification affecting data location disclosure. The addition of the UK as an explicit server location may reflect actual infrastructure changes post-Brexit or a clearer description of existing infrastructure. Organizations using Bumble services should assess whether this affects their data processing agreements, particularly regarding data transfer mechanisms (SCCs, standard contractual clauses) between UK and other jurisdictions. The change is low urgency but warrants confirmation that existing DPAs and data transfer mechanisms account for UK processing.
