Third-Party Advertising Data Sharing

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Your personal data — including behavioural patterns and profile details — may be shared with external advertising companies, creating privacy risks beyond Bumble's own systems.

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.
  • Export Your Data
    California residents can opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information by using the 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link in the app or website footer, or by submitting a request via https://bumble.com/help.
