Bumble vs Tinder

Neither policy says whether your data trains AI models. Both are UNCLEAR, and the search terms tried are on each entry.

Grades read the plan most people are on. Each company's full entry has every plan, every clause and the archived copy it was read from.

Bumble

Bumble sends your message prompts to OpenAI and tells you how long OpenAI keeps them. It does not say whether they train anything.

Verdict

By default: The policy does not say
The way out: Nothing to opt out of on the record

Tinder

Tinder names machine learning as a way it develops features, on the same wording as its sister app Hinge. Neither says whether your data trains anything.
