Institutional Analysis

Assessment

This change updates contact routing for privacy requests and DPO communication across Epic Games' corporate entities. Under GDPR, CCPA, and similar regimes, organizations must maintain current contact information for data subjects to exercise access, deletion, and other statutory rights. The change itself creates no new substantive obligations but ensures contact channels remain functional. Organizations using Epic Games services should confirm these new addresses in vendor management records to route privacy requests correctly.
