Bumble revised its Terms and Conditions to clarify account deletion procedures, expand content visibility language, add detailed account verification reasons, introduce a new BeePitched feature for creating personalized pitches about other users, remove wireless carrier authorization language, add pricing error correction provisions, and refine location-based feature access. The updated terms also narrow the scope of content licensing to specify that licensed content is made available to other app users rather than the general public, and expand the Bloom safety resource program description.
Consumers: If you want to permanently delete your Bumble account, you must manually request deletion in the app; simply deleting the app will not remove your account.
Consumers: Bumble can ask you to verify your identity or age at any time for safety, fraud prevention, or legal compliance reasons.
Consumers: If you use BeePitched to create a pitch about someone, you must have their permission to contact them and share their information with Bumble.
Consumers: You cannot use BeePitched to create or contribute to a pitch about anyone who lives in Washington State.
Consumers: Your uploaded content is licensed to Bumble for distribution to other app users, not to the general public outside the app.
Consumers: Bumble no longer requests authorization for wireless carriers to share your account and device information.
The updated terms establish new account verification procedures that Bumble may initiate to confirm identity, prevent fraud, verify age compliance, and enforce community guidelines. The terms clarify that deleting the Bumble app does not delete your account; you must explicitly request account deletion through the app to permanently remove it. A new BeePitched feature allows users to create personalized pitches about others and invite contributions, but this feature is restricted in Washington State and requires obtaining all necessary permissions from the person being pitched about. Content licensing language is narrowed to specify that your uploaded content may be made available to other app users, rather than the general public. You can request account deletion through the app's deletion process, and you can report any Pitch for review if you are the subject of one.
→ If you wish to permanently delete your Bumble account, use the account deletion feature in the app rather than relying on app uninstallation.
→ If you are the subject of a BeePitched pitch, you can request that further pitches are not created about you and report any pitch for review.
→ If you reside in Washington State, you cannot use the BeePitched feature to create or contribute to pitches about any person.
Clarified that uninstalling the app does not delete the account; users must affirmatively request deletion through the app.
