What it is

The policy states that all users globally are granted rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to, and port their personal data, as well as to withdraw consent, with some rights (rectification, deletion, consent withdrawal) exercisable directly in the app and all rights exercisable by contacting dpo@bere.al. French users are additionally granted a post-mortem data instruction right.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that BeReal extends GDPR-equivalent data subject rights to all users globally, not only those in jurisdictions where such rights are legally mandated. The policy identifies dpo@bere.al as the contact for rights requests and states a 45-day response window for access, deletion, correction, and portability requests under U.S. law, with California opt-out requests processed within 15 business days.

Recent Activity

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this provision, all BeReal users may submit requests to access, correct, delete, or port their personal data, or to object to or restrict processing, regardless of their jurisdiction, by contacting dpo@bere.al or using in-app controls in the settings section. The agreement states that BeReal will respond to access, deletion, correction, and portability requests within 45 days, with extensions permitted where applicable law allows.

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.
  • Delete Your Data
    Send a data deletion or access request to dpo@bere.al. Include sufficient identifying information for BeReal to verify your identity. You may also delete your account directly in the app settings, which initiates a 15-day deletion process.
  • Export Your Data
    Submit a data portability request to dpo@bere.al. The policy states BeReal will respond within 45 days and provide data in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
