Supplemental Privacy Policy — Plans

1. Additional Information We Collect for Plans

Information You Provide or That Is Collected During Plans Use

When you use Plans, we collect additional information related to your participation, including:

• preferences and responses used to support grouping (such as “This or That” selections);
• city selection and any indication of interest in unsupported locations.

Information Received from Bumble

When you access Plans through Bumble, we may use information from your Bumble profile to support your experience in Plans. This may include profile details such as your name, date of birth, hometown, school, and job, as well as compatibility-related signals.

We use this information to help you get started with Plans, including pre-filling onboarding where available, grouping users into events, and shaping your experience in the service.

Because Plans is part of the Bumble ecosystem, information may be used across Bumble and Plans to support these functions. For example, Plans may use Bumble profile information to help group users, and may share connection-related signals back to Bumble to enable features such as matches.

Invitee / Non-User Contact Information

Plans allows users to invite others by sharing their contact information. When a user chooses to send an invite, Bumble may receive and process contact details about an individual who is not yet a Plans user, such as a phone number and, where available, a contact name. This information is provided by the inviting user, not collected directly from the invitee.

We use this information to send an invitation on the user’s behalf and to support the invite process, such as maintaining invite records, helping prevent duplicate invitations, and linking an invitation to a later sign-up if the invited person chooses to join.

Invited individuals may receive an initial message inviting them to learn more about Plans. Additional communications may be sent if the individual responds to the invitation, signs up for Plans, or otherwise engages with the service. Invited contacts are not treated as Plans users unless they choose to participate.

To deliver invitation messages, contact information may be processed through our messaging providers as described below.

If an invited individual does not engage with Plans, we may retain limited information about the invitation (such as the contact details and invite status) to manage invitations and support the operation of Plans. If the individual chooses to sign up, this information may be associated with their Plans account.

Event Participation and Activity Data

When you use Plans, we collect information about your participation in events and related activities. This includes:

• your RSVP status and payment confirmation for events;
• cancellations, including the reason you select or provide (which may include personal information in freeform text);
• check-in responses, such as indicating that you have arrived or are running late;
• participation in related activities, such as after-events; and
• attendance-related signals, including whether you attended an event.

Attendance or no-show status may be based on a combination of information, including your own inputs and information provided by other participants during post-event interactions. For example, participants may indicate whether others attended as part of event feedback. These signals help us understand participation and engagement with Plans.

We use this information to operate and coordinate Plans events, understand participation, improve the Plans experience, support connections between participants, and inform how the service operates for you and other users.

Participation in Plans involves sharing information through your activity and interactions, and attendance-related signals may be derived from those interactions. These signals are based on available information and may not always be accurate.

Post-Event and Interaction Data

After a Plans event, you may choose to provide feedback and make selections about your experience and the people you met. This includes:

• your selections regarding other attendees (for example, indicating interest in connecting as friends or “more than a friend”);
• feedback about other attendees, including whether they attended;
• ratings and feedback about the event experience; and
• signals about whether you would participate in Plans again.

As part of this process, attendees may provide feedback or indicate preferences about other identifiable participants during post-event interactions. These inputs are used to support how Plans operates, including enabling connections (such as friendships or matches), understanding participation and engagement, and improving the event experience.

Some selections, such as indicating interest in connecting with another attendee, reflect personal preferences and are used to determine whether a mutual connection should be created.

Your selections and feedback, as well as feedback provided by others, may influence how Plans groups participants, supports connections, and shapes the experience. These inputs are based on user activity and may not always be accurate. Bumble does not independently verify user feedback or create objective scores or rankings about participants.

Providing post-event feedback is part of how Plans works, and you choose whether and how to share this information.

Messaging and Communications Data

Plans operates primarily through SMS and/or RCS messaging. We collect and use:

• your phone number as a messaging identifier;
• information about messages sent in connection with Plans (such as invitations, confirmations, reminders, and follow-ups);
• your interactions with those messages.

2. How We Use Plans Information

We use information collected through Plans to provide and operate the feature, support connections between users, and improve the overall experience.

To create and manage events

We use your information to group users into events, coordinate participation, and manage event logistics. This includes using profile information, preferences, participation, and activity signals (such as RSVPs, attendance, and feedback) to help shape how groups are formed and how events are organized.

To send Plans communications

We use your information, including your phone number, to send communications related to Plans, such as invitations, confirmations, reminders, updates, and other messages connected to your participation in the service.

To support connections and interactions

We use information about your participation, selections, and feedback—including input provided by you and other attendees—to enable connections between users, such as friendships and matches, and to support interactions following events.

To understand participation and improve Plans

We use information about RSVPs, attendance, feedback, and engagement to understand how Plans is used, improve event experiences, and refine how the service operates for participants over time.

To support invite features

When users invite others to Plans, we use the contact information provided to send invitations and manage the invite process, including maintaining invite records, helping prevent duplicate invitations, and linking invitations to accounts if an invited person chooses to join.

How your information shapes your experience

Your profile information, preferences, participation, and interactions may be used to help shape how you are grouped into events, the communications you receive, and your experience in Plans. These factors are considered alongside other information and do not determine outcomes or guarantee specific experiences.

3. What Other Attendees Can See

Plans is designed to introduce participants to each other in stages. The information that you can see about other attendees—and that they can see about you—depends on where you are in the event experience.

• Before group reveal: Attendees do not typically see information about each other.
• At group reveal: Attendees in your group can see limited profile details about each other, such as first name, age, hometown, and school, based on profile information.
• Before or on the day of the event: Attendees can also see event-related details, such as the venue name and location.
• After the event (debrief): Attendees may see additional information about each other, including profile photos, in order to support post-event interactions such as selecting who they would like to connect with or providing feedback.
• Afters or related activities: If you participate in follow-on activities, your visibility may extend to other attendees taking part in those activities, and you may see information about them.

This information is shared only with participants in the same event or related Plans activities, and not with the general public.

As part of the Plans experience, the amount of information visible to other attendees increases at different stages. Bumble does not control what other participants do with information they see, and once information is shared in this context it may not be possible to reverse that visibility.

4. How We Share Plans Information

We share Plans-related information in limited ways to operate the feature and support your experience.

With other Plans participants

We share certain profile and event-related information with other attendees to enable participation and interaction. This may include information such as your first name, age, hometown, school, and, at certain stages, profile photos, as described in “What Other Attendees Can See.” This information is shared only with participants in the same event or related Plans activities as part of using the service, and not with the general public.

With service providers

We share information with service providers that help us operate Plans. This includes messaging providers that process phone numbers and related delivery data to send invitations and event-related communications, payment providers that process transactions, and providers that support infrastructure, analytics, and the operation and improvement of Plans.

With Bumble

Because Plans is part of the Bumble ecosystem, information may be used across Bumble and Plans to support functionality. This includes receiving profile information from Bumble to help with onboarding and grouping, and sharing connection-related signals (such as match outcomes) to enable features across Bumble services.

With invited contacts

When a user invites someone to Plans, we use the contact information provided by that user to send an invitation on their behalf and to manage the invite process, such as maintaining invite records and supporting onboarding if the invited person chooses to join.

5. Messaging and SMS/RCS Disclosures

When you use Plans, we collect and process information related to messaging used to support the feature. This includes:

• your phone number used to send and receive Plans-related messages;
• message delivery information, such as timestamps, delivery status, and related technical data;
• interaction signals, such as whether you respond to a message or take action through it (for example, tapping a link or confirming attendance); and
• contextual information related to the message, such as event status, RSVP activity, or invitation status.

This may include messaging-related data associated with invitations sent on behalf of users, including messages sent to individuals who are not yet Plans users, as described in the Invitee / Non-User Contact Information section.

We use this information to send and manage Plans-related communications, understand how users interact with those communications, and support event coordination and participation within Plans.

Messaging-related data is used in connection with delivering and managing communications, and does not involve broad analysis of message content beyond what is necessary to support these functions.

6. Data Retention

We retain Plans-related information for as long as necessary to operate the feature, support participation and connections, and maintain the integrity of the service, in line with the Bumble Privacy Policy.

This includes:

• Invitee / non-user contact data: We may retain limited information about invitations (such as contact details and invite status) to manage invitations, help prevent duplicate invites, and support onboarding if an invited individual chooses to join Plans. This information is retained in connection with the invite lifecycle and service operation.
• Event participation and activity data: We retain information about RSVPs, attendance, check-ins, and related activity to coordinate events, understand participation patterns, and improve how Plans operates.
• Post-event and interaction data: We retain feedback, selections, and interaction signals (such as connection preferences) to enable connections, improve the experience, and support how Plans functions for participants.
• Messaging-related data: We retain messaging-related information (such as delivery data and interaction signals) to manage communications and support event coordination.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and its use. We retain information only for as long as necessary for these purposes, and may retain certain data where required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or address misuse of the service.

7. Relationship to Bumble Privacy Policy

This Supplemental Privacy Policy applies specifically to Plans and should be read together with the Bumble Privacy Policy, which continues to apply to your use of Bumble.
