Bumble collects your precise geographic location to enable its core matching features, showing you potential matches nearby, and this data is collected continuously while the app is in use.
Precise location data is highly sensitive and, combined with other profile information on a dating app, could be used to physically locate or track individual users, creating serious safety risks.
Precise geolocation data is classified as sensitive personal information under CCPA/CPRA and several other US state laws, triggering heightened consent and opt-out obligations; under GDPR, its collection as part of a dating service profile may engage Article 9 considerations where it reveals sensitive inferences about a person's habits or relationships.
