Why it matters

This type of highly sensitive data — including information about your sexual identity or religion — carries significant risks if exposed or misused, and its processing is subject to the strictest legal protections.

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.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Edit your profile in the Bumble app to remove sensitive personal details, or submit a formal data deletion request via the Help Centre at https://bumble.com/help to have sensitive data erased.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has enforcement authority over misuse of sensitive consumer data and unfair data practices by online platforms.
