Bumble removed a hyperlink from their privacy policy language describing identity verification procedures. The previous version linked the phrase 'Community Guidelines' to bumble.com/guidelines; the updated version removes this link and presents the text as plain language. This change does not alter what Bumble collects or verifies, only how the policy presents the reference to their guidelines.
This change is a formatting modification with no material impact on consumer rights or data practices. The policy continues to state that Bumble will request phone numbers and may require photo or ID verification to enforce Community Guidelines. The removal of the hyperlink does not change what data Bumble collects, how it processes identity information, or what verification procedures apply to users.
Hyperlink to Community Guidelines removed; text remains substantively identical.
