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.
