This provision reserves the right to transfer user data to an acquiring or successor entity in a range of corporate transactions. The assertion that the current Privacy Policy would apply to transferred information does not bind the acquiring entity to maintain the same practices, and the actual privacy treatment of transferred data would depend on the acquiring entity's policies and applicable law.
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.

"In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, or bankruptcy, BeReal may share, sell or transfer information about you. This Privacy Policy would apply to all transferred information.Excerpt from BeReal's Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implicates GDPR requirements for lawful transfer of personal data in corporate transactions, including the need for a valid legal basis for the transfer and appropriate safeguards if transferred to an entity outside the EU/EEA. CCPA and analogous U.S. state laws may impose notice or opt-out requirements depending on the nature of the transaction. CNIL is the lead supervisory authority for GDPR purposes. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision is standard in consumer-facing privacy policies but the assertion that the current Privacy Policy applies to all transferred information does not legally bind a successor entity to maintain equivalent practices absent contractual or regulatory requirements. Users have no opt-out right specified for this type of transfer. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users retain GDPR data subject rights regardless of corporate ownership changes, and any transfer to a non-EU/EEA acquirer would require appropriate safeguards. California residents may have rights under CCPA depending on how the transaction is structured and whether it constitutes a 'sale' under the statute. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: In M&A due diligence, the acquirer should assess the scope of user data collected under this policy, the legal bases for processing, and any ongoing regulatory investigations or obligations. The assertion that the current policy applies post-transfer should be reviewed as part of transaction documentation. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams conducting or reviewing M&A transactions involving BeReal should assess whether applicable law requires user notification of ownership changes affecting personal data processing, and whether the acquiring entity's privacy practices are compatible with the representations made in this policy.
