This gives California users a legal mechanism to stop BeReal from monetising their personal data by sharing it with advertisers, which is a meaningful privacy protection under state law.
BeReal collects a wide range of personal data including dual-camera photos, precise geolocation, device identifiers, and phone contacts, which are shared with third-party advertising and analytics partners. This means your real-time location and images may be used to build an advertising profile about you. You can request deletion of your personal data or opt out of certain data processing by contacting BeReal at privacy@bereal.com or through the in-app settings.
