BeReal Terms of Service

This document is BeReal's Terms of Service governing use of the BeReal social media application and associated services, establishing the legal relationship between BeReal (operated by Voodoo, a French company) and its users on a contractual basis under applicable law. The agreement states that users grant BeReal a broad, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, and distribute user-generated content, including photos and videos captured through the app's dual-camera feature, and the terms authorize BeReal to suspend or terminate accounts at its discretion for violations of community standards. The content license granted to BeReal over user-generated content, including biometric-adjacent photo data captured simultaneously from front and rear cameras, is notable in scope and may interact with applicable data protection frameworks including GDPR for EU users and CCPA for California residents, though the precise boundaries of any such license are subject to interpretation under applicable law. The document engages GDPR given BeReal's French corporate parentage and EU user base, as well as CCPA for California residents, COPPA considerations given the platform's popularity among younger users, and FTC Act provisions regarding unfair or deceptive practices; enforcement exposure is jurisdiction-dependent and the document's assertions regarding content licensing and data use may require evaluation under these frameworks. Material compliance considerations include the adequacy of consent mechanisms for minors, the scope of the content license relative to EU data subject rights, and the interaction between account termination provisions and user rights to data portability.
