Perpetual Royalty-Free Content License

High severity

Why it matters

This means Bumble can use your photos and profile content indefinitely and for a wide range of commercial purposes, even after you delete your account, as content may persist in derivative works.

Consumer impact

Bumble users grant the company a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to their uploaded content, including photos and profile information. Users are subject to mandatory binding arbitration and waive their right to class action lawsuits or jury trials unless they actively opt out within 30 days. You can opt out of the arbitration agreement by following the instructions in Section 14 of the Terms within 30 days of agreeing.

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.
  • Delete Your Data
    Go to Settings in the Bumble app and select 'Delete account' to remove your profile. Note that some content may remain in Bumble's systems temporarily and the license granted may persist for derivative works already created.

Applicable agencies
