Affected users
All users Beepitched users US users

Bumble revised the BeePitched feature terms on June 18, 2026. The updated language repositions BeePitched as a user-controlled content generation tool rather than a pitch-sharing mechanism, removes the concept of co-pitchers and shared contributions, and explicitly states that Bumble does not host or distribute completed pitches after generation. The terms now impose clearer user responsibility for all pitch content creation and sharing, establish that Bumble retains content only for the period necessary to generate and moderate pitches (generally 24 hours post-download, 7 days if not completed), and reserve Bumble's right to review, moderate, and restrict access to content that violates the terms or community guidelines.

1 new obligation 2 obligations expanded

Consumers: You are responsible for ensuring that all content you create with BeePitched is legal, accurate, and authorized by you to share.

Consumers: When you upload content, Bumble gains the right to process, review, and moderate it as needed to run the feature.

Consumers: Content must not be illegal, defamatory, harassing, or contain sensitive personal information about others.

What this means for you

The updated terms reframe BeePitched from a collaborative pitch-sharing feature to a standalone content generation and distribution tool under user control. Users are now solely responsible for obtaining permissions, ensuring content legality, and distributing completed pitches themselves. Bumble clarifies it does not host or distribute pitches after generation and retains content only briefly (24 hours post-download, 7 days if not completed) for moderation purposes. Bumble reserves the right to review, refuse to generate, remove, or restrict access to any content that violates the terms or community guidelines, and may suspend access to the feature if misuse is identified.
