The minimum age requirement sets a legal threshold for registering and using Bumble, with the applicable age varying by jurisdiction for users in countries where the contracting age of majority exceeds 18.
Interpretive note: The excerpt appears to be a requirement for registration but does not specify the consequence of failing to meet the age requirement; the canonical claim is limited to what the quoted language states.
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.
