Low Neutral for users
Affected users
All users Beepitched users

Bumble revised its description of BeePitched from a tool for creating personalized pitches about others to a downloadable content creation tool. The updated policy removes specific references to phone numbers as collected data, clarifies that pitch content is deleted within 24 hours after download (or 7 days if undownloaded), and shifts responsibility to users to ensure they have permissions to upload content about other individuals. The policy also narrows who can access pitch content while retained, removing explicit mention of pitch subjects and invited contributors.

1 new obligation

Consumers: Before uploading content about someone else, you must confirm you have their permission to do so.

Previous text
The updated terms reframe BeePitched as a downloadable content creation tool rather than a platform for creating personalized content about others. Bumble will process fewer data categories (phone numbers are no longer explicitly listed) and retain Pitch content for substantially shorter periods: completed Pitches are deleted within 24 hours after download, and incomplete or undownloaded Pitches within 7 days, compared to the previous 30-day retention window. The policy also clarifies that only authorized Bumble personnel and service providers can access retained Pitches while being retained.
