Removes UK from disclosed server locations; now lists only US and EU servers

Previous text
UK users may experience a change in data storage and processing infrastructure. The updated policy discloses that servers in the UK are no longer part of Bumble's stated network, meaning UK user data may now be processed and stored in EU data centers instead of potentially UK-based infrastructure. This could have implications for data residency expectations and regulatory compliance frameworks that apply to UK-based data processing. Review Bumble's updated data transfer documentation if you have specific data locality requirements.

Previous text
Bumble removed the UK from its list of server locations in its privacy policy. The updated language now states the network includes servers in the US and the EU, whereas previously it specified the US, UK, and EU. This change may affect how UK users' data is processed and where it is stored, potentially shifting UK data handling from a UK-based server to EU infrastructure.
