Why it matters

Automated profiling can significantly affect your experience on the platform — including who you can connect with — and raises rights under GDPR Article 22 to not be subject to solely automated decisions with significant effects.

Consumer impact

Bumble collects a wide range of sensitive personal data including biometric identifiers, precise geolocation, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, and private messages, which are used for matching algorithms, content moderation, and advertising purposes. Your data may be shared with third-party advertisers and service providers, and transferred to the United States and other countries with potentially different privacy protections. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting Bumble directly through the app settings or by emailing their data protection team.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has oversight of algorithmic systems used in consumer-facing services and can act on deceptive or unfair automated decision-making practices.
