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.
The updated policy provides more explicit disclosure of three data practices: payment processing (clarifying what BeReal does not retain), UX recording (affecting a very small sample of users for interface improvement), and interest inference methodology (internal targeting only). These clarifications improve transparency without substantively expanding BeReal's asserted data rights; the practices appear to be existing functionality now more explicitly documented.

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
The May 29, 2026 update to BeReal's privacy policy restructures data collection disclosures into tabular format and adds explicit sections on transaction data handling, UX interaction recordings, and interest inference methodology. The transaction data section clarifies payment flow (processed by app stores) and specifies what data BeReal retains. The UX interaction recording disclosure states a 0.001% sample with 90-day retention. These additions appear to be clarifications of existing practices rather than substantive policy expansions. Organizations processing BeReal data as part of user analytics or integration should confirm whether the UX recording practices or interest inference disclosures create any new data handling obligations in their own privacy notices or vendor assessments.
