Every dating app has a thing. Bumble's thing is only women can make the first move in the app to contact a man (for users looking for someone of the same gender, anyone can make the first move). Bumble says their goal is to shake up the gender norms and empower women to make the first move. Which can be a breath of fresh air in the straight dating app world where women are constantly bombarded with "Hey" as an opening line (come on guys, do better!). Founded by a former Tinder employee and launched in 2014, Bumble now has over 100 million users worldwide. This dating app lets users sign up with Facebook or their phone number (they added the phone number options back in 2018 following Facebook's Cambridge Analytica scandal). All profile information on Bumble is public, so if you sign up with Facebook be aware it could pull your personal info from there and make it open to all users.

Was könnte passieren, wenn etwas schiefgeht?

Bumble says they want to provide a safe dating space, especially for women. They even use artificial intelligence to try and moderate lewd images, body shaming, transphobic, homophobic, and racist comments shared on the site. Good for them! Unfortunately, they have some work to do to protect the privacy and security of all the users on their app. In November 2020, researchers found a security bug in Bumble that exposed the personal information of their nearly 100 millions users. All that really personal info, like political leanings, weight, the type of person a user was looking for, and even location were open to any attacker with a little technical know how. We'll say it again, no matter what a company's privacy policy says, any personal information you share with them online is potentially vulnerable and could be used by bad people for bad purposes. We are glad to see that in 2018, Bumble did stop requiring users to sign in through Facebook. Now users also have the option to sign in with their phone number. Which is good because according to Bumble's privacy policy, if you log into the app using your Facebook account you authorize them to access pretty much everything on Facebook -- friends list, current location, photos, friends you have in common with other people on Bumble, the list goes on. So please remember, when you connect a social media account like Facebook to Bumble, both Facebook and Bumble now potentially collect more information together. That's why we recommend users don't link your dating app to Facebook, use your phone number instead. Because really, you don't need to share all your personal info with Facebook, and then Bumble, and then Bumble may share more with Facebook and then it all gets exposed and soon the world knows where you live, who you think is hot, and how much money you make. That might be a recipe for a good date...it's also potentially a recipe for disaster.

Welche Daten sammelt das Unternehmen?

Wie nutzt das Unternehmen die Daten?

Bumble's Privacy Policy, last updated in August 2020, claims that Bumble does not sell user data and has not done so in the previous 12 months. However, it is unclear whether the company has sold data prior to Aug 2019 or since Aug 2020. Bumble shares users' personal information such as demographic data and geolocation with third parties for targeted advertising. Bumble also shares non-personal, aggregated data with third-parties for purposes such as research and analysis.
