What it is

EU/EEA users and California residents have the right to access, correct, delete, or port their personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing activities. BeReal provides a contact email and in-app mechanisms to exercise these rights.

This analysis describes what BeReal's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

These rights establish enforceable mechanisms through which users can exercise control over personal data processing practices. The provision operationalizes statutory obligations under EU and California privacy frameworks by explicitly recognizing user entitlements to initiate data-related requests.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium Jul 8, 2026

The updated policy now requires email address in addition to phone number, full name, and date of birth to create an account. BeReal discloses that it derives likely gender from your username, first name, and biography using AI, and uses this classification for internal targeting purposes. The policy also reveals that a randomized sample of 0.001% of users will have their interface interactions (touches and swipes) recorded through an analytics partner for up to 90 days to understand how users navigate the app; this practice does not apply in all geographic regions. You can review your app settings or contact BeReal to inquire about your data collection status.
