BeReal reserves the right to update the user agreement at any time, with advance notice required only for changes that affect rights or obligations (except for security or compliance-driven updates). Continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

"BeReal may update the user agreement at any time. If we make an update that impacts the rights or obligations of either party, we will notify you within a reasonable time before the update takes effect, unless the update is required for security or legal compliance reasons. If you continue to use our services after the effective date, you accept the updated user agreement. If you do not wish to accept it, you must stop using our services.Excerpt from BeReal's Terms of Service
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: EU consumer protection law and the DSA impose requirements on platforms to provide clear advance notice of material changes to terms of service and to obtain renewed consent where required. GDPR similarly requires notification of material changes to data processing practices. The 'reasonable time' standard in the document may require evaluation against DSA and GDPR notification obligations. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. Continued use as acceptance of updated terms is a standard mechanism in consumer digital services, but the undefined 'reasonable time' notification period and the security/compliance exception may not satisfy DSA or GDPR advance notice requirements in all circumstances. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA users have heightened exposure given DSA and GDPR requirements for advance notification and, in some cases, renewed consent for material changes. UK users are subject to equivalent consumer protection requirements. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations using BeReal services should monitor for term update notifications, as continued use by employees or agents may constitute organizational acceptance of updated terms. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should establish a process for monitoring BeReal term updates and assessing their operational impact before the effective date. The absence of a defined notification timeline or method in the document means reliance on the notification mechanism alone may be insufficient for compliance purposes.
