NJBIZ - New Jersey has reached a settlement with Bumble, requiring the dating app to pay $315K and revise its business practices. The investigation revealed that Bumble and Badoo inaccurately represented or failed to disclose their criminal background screening policies, violating the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and Internet Dating Safety Act. Under the settlement, Bumble must accurately disclose its background screening policies, specify whether individuals with criminal backgrounds can access the services to communicate with New Jersey users, and provide details and caveats regarding the background screenings. Bumble will also update its disclosures on its websites and apps and inform existing New Jersey users of these changes through email and pop-up notifications.
