Safety at a glance

Updated over a week ago

We never hesitate to take action on anything that could make someone feel unsafe on Bump. Protecting our community comes first, always.

As stated in our community guidelines, we want everyone using Bump to remember:

If you’re about to do something on Bump that you wouldn’t want done to you (or someone you care about), then it’s probably not okay. So, don’t do it!

If you don’t agree with our community guidelines or safety policies, Bump isn’t the right app for you, and we’d recommend not using it.

Our Safety Policies

Beyond the policies - keeping the spirit of Bump safe

We want Bump to be a positive and safe space for everyone. Sometimes we encounter issues that aren't specifically listed in our policies but still affect user safety and experience. Full policy.

Location and real-world safety

Location sharing must always be mutual and voluntary. Use tools like ghost mode, block, and report to stay safe. Full policy.

Friend invitation spam

Invites should feel welcoming, not overwhelming. Mass or unwanted invites may lead to restrictions. Full policy.

Inappropriate language

Bump should be a place where everyone feels at ease. This policy makes sure harmful or uncomfortable language doesn’t get in the way of that. Full policy.

Non-consensual nudity or sexual content

We want Bump to be a space that feels safe and comfortable for everyone. That’s why we have a strict policy against non-consensual nudity or sexual content. Full policy.
