If you sign up for a Bumble subscription, it will automatically renew at the end of each term at whatever Bumble's current price is at that time, and you will be charged unless you cancel before the renewal date.
This analysis describes what Bumble's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Auto-renewal at Bumble's then-current price means the renewal amount could be higher than your original subscription price, and you must actively cancel before the renewal date to avoid being charged.
The updated terms reframe BeePitched from a collaborative pitch-sharing feature to a standalone content generation and distribution tool under user control. Users are now solely responsible for obtaining permissions, ensuring content legality, and distributing completed pitches themselves. Bumble clarifies it does not host or distribute pitches after generation and retains content only briefly (24 hours post-download, 7 days if not completed) for moderation purposes. Bumble reserves the right to review, refuse to generate, remove, or restrict access to any content that violates the terms or community guidelines, and may suspend access to the feature if misuse is identified.
View change record →The updated terms state that Bumble's license to use your uploaded content is now limited to distribution to other app users when they are using the app, rather than the previously stated right to make content available to the general public. This represents a narrowing of the company's stated rights over user content. Additionally, the terms now explicitly disclose five scenarios in which Bumble may request account verification: to prevent fake accounts and fraud, to confirm age compliance in certain jurisdictions, to detect unusual account access, to prevent payment fraud, and to enforce community guidelines. The terms also clarify that uninstalling the app does not delete your account, and you must manually follow account deletion steps to permanently remove it.
