The updated terms establish new account verification procedures that Bumble may initiate to confirm identity, prevent fraud, verify age compliance, and enforce community guidelines. The terms clarify that deleting the Bumble app does not delete your account; you must explicitly request account deletion through the app to permanently remove it. A new BeePitched feature allows users to create personalized pitches about others and invite contributions, but this feature is restricted in Washington State and requires obtaining all necessary permissions from the person being pitched about. Content licensing language is narrowed to specify that your uploaded content may be made available to other app users, rather than the general public. You can request account deletion through the app's deletion process, and you can report any Pitch for review if you are the subject of one.
