Change Summary
Bumble's privacy policy now discloses that users can create a 'handle' (a searchable identifier) in addition to the previously listed registration information. The updated policy explains that handles allow other members to find and open a user's profile regardless of filter settings, and introduces new data categories collected in connection with this feature: handle, discoverability setting, user ID, profile verification status, handle search activity, and vote history. The policy also clarifies the legal basis for collecting this data as 'contractual necessity to provide the feature.'
