BeReal restructured its privacy policy on May 29, 2026 to present data collection practices in a tabular format with more explicit categorization. The updated policy adds a new 'Transaction Data' section disclosing payment processing and adds a 'UX Interaction Recordings' section stating that 0.001% of users are recorded interacting with the app interface for up to 90 days. The policy also adds language clarifying that 'interests' are derived from visual elements of photos and used for internal targeting, and introduces a 'Government-issued identification' clarification (previously 'government issued identification'). Most changes are organizational and presentational rather than substantively expanding or restricting data practices.
The updated policy now explicitly discloses that BeReal processes transaction data (transaction IDs, digital receipt tokens, and purchase history of virtual goods) when users make in-app purchases, but clarifies that credit card details and billing addresses are not stored by BeReal. The policy additionally states that a randomized sample of 0.001% of users are subject to UX interaction recording (touch and swipe interactions) for up to 90 days to improve the app interface. The policy also clarifies that inferred interest data is derived from visual elements of photos and used exclusively for internal targeting. These changes are primarily organizational; the underlying data practices appear largely consistent with prior disclosures.
