Your private messages, location history, and profile data on a dating app could be disclosed to government authorities without your knowledge in response to a legal request.
Bumble's updated privacy policy discloses that the new BeePitched feature processes personal data including names, phone numbers, photos, and pitch content from users and non-users. According to the policy, this information is used to operate the feature, moderate content, investigate reports, and prevent misuse. Access to pitches is limited to pitch subjects, invited contributors, authorized Bumble personnel, and service providers. The disclosure establishes what data the feature collects and how it is used, but does not describe user controls or settings for opting out of being featured in a pitch.
View change record →Bumble's privacy policy previously disclosed that the company operates servers in the US, UK, and EU. The updated policy removes the UK from this list, stating only US and EU servers. For UK-based users, this change may alter where personal data is actually stored and processed, which can affect data protection rights and latency. UK users may want to review the updated privacy policy to understand the new data storage arrangements and determine whether they align with their privacy expectations.
View change record →UK users may experience a change in data storage and processing infrastructure. The updated policy discloses that servers in the UK are no longer part of Bumble's stated network, meaning UK user data may now be processed and stored in EU data centers instead of potentially UK-based infrastructure. This could have implications for data residency expectations and regulatory compliance frameworks that apply to UK-based data processing. Review Bumble's updated data transfer documentation if you have specific data locality requirements.
View change record →Bumble collects a wide range of sensitive personal data including precise geolocation, biometric information, sexual orientation, and private messages, and uses this data for algorithmic matching and targeted advertising. Your data may be shared with third-party service providers, advertising partners, and disclosed to law enforcement or in the event of a corporate transaction such as a merger or acquisition. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting Bumble through the in-app settings or via their privacy request portal.
