Bumble removed a reference to UK servers from its privacy policy on April 19, 2026. The policy previously stated the company's network includes servers in the US, UK, and EU; it now says servers are in the US and EU only. This change may affect how UK users' data is stored and processed.
Bumble's privacy policy previously disclosed that the company operates servers in the US, UK, and EU. The updated policy removes the UK from this list, stating only US and EU servers. For UK-based users, this change may alter where personal data is actually stored and processed, which can affect data protection rights and latency. UK users may want to review the updated privacy policy to understand the new data storage arrangements and determine whether they align with their privacy expectations.
Transparency about server locations is a key privacy disclosure that affects where your data is stored and what data protection laws apply. Removing UK from the list changes what the policy tells you about data handling and may indicate a shift in infrastructure that affects your rights under UK and EU data protection law.

UK removed from stated server locations; policy now lists only 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
You no longer have explicit confirmation that your data may be stored on UK servers, which reduces transparency about where your personal information is kept.
Bumble removed 'UK' from its stated server locations in the privacy policy, leaving only US and EU. For organizations handling UK user data via Bumble, this change may affect data processing agreements (DPAs), Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), and vendor assessments. The removal creates ambiguity: whether UK data now transfers to US or EU locations has implications for UK data protection compliance and GDPR-aligned transfers. Legal and compliance teams should clarify Bumble's actual infrastructure and confirm appropriate transfer mechanisms are in place, particularly if UK data flows to the US outside GDPR adequacy frameworks.
