Why it matters

Your data is not immediately erased when you stop using BeReal — some information may be retained for extended periods for legal or business purposes even after you delete your account.

Consumer impact

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.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Close Your Account
    Open the BeReal app, go to your profile, navigate to Settings, select Account, and choose Delete Account. After deletion, email privacy@bereal.com to request erasure of any residual retained data.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC can take action against companies that retain consumer data beyond stated or necessary periods in violation of their own privacy policies or applicable law.
