The policy limits BeReal's data collection practices with respect to children under 13, qualified by knowledge and willingness, which may affect enforcement scope.
Interpretive note: The qualifier 'knowingly or willingly' limits the scope of the commitment. This is recorded here and not softened in reader-facing prose.
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.
