Tell Bumble: Honor your expressed commitment to user safety and human rights. Stop selling users’ data.

In using Bumble’s app, 50+ million users provide the tech corporation with enormous amounts of personal data––everything from location history to intimate details about their dating lives. People are willing to share more information with dating apps than they’d share with other apps. 

While dating apps are notorious for the troves of intimate information they collect, with questionable privacy policies, Bumble markets itself as being different.

Bumble’s commitment to safety and gender equality is the reason many people chose to use the platform. Bumble positions itself as a gender justice advocate both online and off, working to put an end to discrimination and harassment. 

But Bumble’s stance does not extend to its data practices. The company sells user data, a fact the company fails to explain in its privacy policy.

There are real life consequences that come from the sale of personal information, like that information being used to criminalize people seeking abortions, threaten the lives of survivors of intimate partner violence, and out people in the LGBTQ+ community. 

Bumble needs to take immediate action to protect users. Tell Bumble to stop selling users data.

Petition Text:  

You can’t claim to provide a safe community for users on your platform while subjecting them to the harms that come from selling their data. Users’ personal data can be misused and cause real danger. It can be used to criminalize people seeking abortions, threaten the lives of survivors of intimate partner violence, and out people in the LGBTQ+ community. 

This harmful practice you’re doing goes against everything you claim to be. We’re calling on you to stop selling customers’ data in order to truly protect users.
