Terms of Service

Last updated: July 26, 2026

Plain English

Bubble is an 18+ early-stage in-person dating event service for thoughtful introductions. Use it honestly, treat people respectfully, and understand that Bubble has zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Bubble is free to download and apply, but applying requires a saved payment method. Bubble charges the disclosed event price only if you confirm availability and are selected.

1. Using Bubble

Bubble provides a public website and mobile app experience for adults interested in curated, real-world dating events. By using Bubble or submitting an application, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

  • You must be at least 18 years old to use Bubble.
  • You must provide accurate information.
  • You may not impersonate someone else.
  • You may not use Bubble to harass, deceive, spam, or harm anyone.
  • Bubble has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users, including harassment, threats, hate, sexual misconduct, stalking, coercion, fraud, or exploitation.
  • You are responsible for how you communicate and behave on dates.

2. Applications and Availability

Downloading Bubble or submitting an application does not guarantee an event invitation, matching, a specific timeline, or any particular outcome. We may prioritize invitations by location, demand, safety, operational capacity, and product fit.

3. Analytics and Tracking

Bubble uses analytics tools, including Google Analytics and Firebase, to understand how the website and iOS app are used, diagnose issues, improve onboarding, measure launch demand, and maintain product quality.

Analytics events may include page views, app launches, screen views, onboarding step progress, button taps, authentication attempt outcomes, field completion status, selected option categories, selection counts, photo selection counts and approximate upload sizes, contacts permission status, contact hash counts, application restore and submission outcomes, error categories, referral source, device and app metadata, and timing information.

Bubble designs these events to avoid sending raw sensitive content to analytics providers. We do not intentionally send raw names, email addresses, social handles, photos, contact hashes, message contents, or exact contact data as analytics event parameters. Private analytics API secrets are stored server-side and are not shipped in the public website or iOS app.

4. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how to contact us about deletion or privacy questions. The Privacy Policy is part of these Terms.

5. Payments and Fees

Bubble does not charge a subscription or a fee to download the app or submit an application. You must save a payment method with our payment processor when applying. Saving the payment method does not create a charge.

Each availability check shows the exact per-person event price. If you confirm availability and Bubble selects you, you authorize Bubble to charge that amount to your saved payment method when the match is published. You are not charged if you decline or are not selected. If you cancel after selection, Bubble refunds 50% of the event price. A no-show receives no refund. If the other participant cancels or does not attend, you receive a full refund. Legacy invitations may retain the fee terms shown when they were accepted; the versioned terms displayed in the app govern them.

6. Text Message Updates

On an invited website form, you can opt into a three-message signup confirmation sequence with a personal invite link and one notice when applications open. In the app, you may separately consent to service messages about an active application or dating event. These messages reuse Bubble's existing Telnyx campaign and messaging profile. Consent is not a condition of purchase.

Message frequency varies. Standard message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop all Bubble text updates, HELP for help, or email hello@bubble.dating. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Full program details are on our SMS terms page.

Your mobile information will not be sold or shared with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes. All of the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

7. Safety

Bubble can help with thoughtful introductions, but no service can guarantee chemistry, compatibility, safety, or conduct by another person. Use your judgment, meet in public places, and tell us if something feels wrong or violates these Terms.

Bubble does not offer in-app messaging, user posts, profile browsing, or other user-to-user interaction. We enforce a zero-tolerance policy for objectionable application content and abusive conduct. Bubble may suspend or permanently remove accounts that violate this policy and may escalate credible threats when required by law.

Bubble does not allow sexual SMS conversational content in the Bubble Date Updates program. We may block, remove, or refuse to send content that violates this policy or carrier messaging requirements.

8. Changes and Availability

We may update, pause, limit, or discontinue parts of Bubble as we build, test, and launch. If we make meaningful changes to these Terms, we will update this page and adjust the last updated date.
