Does Bumble train on your data?
Bumble sends your message prompts to OpenAI and tells you how long OpenAI keeps them. It does not say whether they train anything.
This clause is real, but it doesn't resolve the training question - see the finding below.
"AI tool providers to assist with message prompts - product features - OpenAI (it only retains inputs and prompts for 30 days)"

Why this is still UNCLEAR: This is a dating app, so the material is what people say to each other before they trust each other. The policy is unusually forthcoming about mechanism: it names OpenAI as the provider behind its icebreaker prompts and states a 30-day retention period, and it devotes a numbered section to "Our Use of Algorithms", describing matching by profile and moderation by AI. What it never uses is any form of the word "train". So a reader learns that the prompts and inputs behind the icebreaker feature reach OpenAI, and how long OpenAI keeps them, while the policy says "We will not share the content of User messages or information we derive from them with any third party" — and not what either company builds from what it does receive.

How to opt out of Bumble AI training
Plan by plan, from what Bumble's own policy says about refusing. Where it publishes the steps, they're listed here with the limits they carry. Where there's nothing to switch off, or nothing graded, this says so instead of inventing a menu path.
