Unity updated its Terms of Service on July 1, 2026 to clarify restrictions on AI and machine learning use of the platform. The updated terms now explicitly require prior authorization before training AI models on Unity data or using automated systems like scrapers, bots, or AI agents to interact with the platform. The terms also state that users remain responsible for any automated systems acting on their behalf, and breaches of these use restrictions may result in account suspension.
The updated terms establish explicit restrictions on how developers and organizations can use Unity's platform in connection with artificial intelligence and automated systems. Specifically, the terms now require prior written authorization from Unity before training machine learning or AI models on Unity data or any data derived from it. Additionally, the terms restrict automated access to the platform through scrapers, bots, AI agents, large language models, and similar systems unless they operate through a framework designated or operated by Unity. Users remain responsible for any automated systems acting on their behalf, and breaches of these restrictions may result in account suspension. You can request prior authorization from Unity for AI training use cases, and you may review the full updated terms to understand which automated frameworks are Unity-approved.
The updated terms establish binding restrictions on a common and growing use case: training AI models on platform data. By requiring prior authorization, Unity now gates a development practice that was previously unaddressed in its terms, meaning organizations that plan to use Unity data for AI training must now explicitly request permission before proceeding. This also reflects a broader industry trend of platforms establishing control over AI training on their data and services, which affects how development teams integrate with third-party platforms.
→ Review the updated Section 17.2 of Unity's Terms of Service to understand which uses require prior authorization.
→ If you plan to train AI models on Unity data, contact Unity to request prior written authorization before proceeding.
→ Audit any current or planned automated integrations to ensure they use only Unity-approved frameworks.
→ If AI model training on Unity data proceeds without prior authorization, the terms state that breaches of Section 17.2 may result in suspension of account access.
→ Automated tools and agents that do not use Unity-approved frameworks will violate the updated use restrictions and expose the account to suspension.
ConductAtlas has recorded 2 material changes to this document over 39 days of monitoring (since May 2026).
Training machine learning or AI models on Unity data or data derived from it now requires prior written authorization from Unity.
Automated scrapers, bots, AI agents, and large language models may only interact with Unity's platform through frameworks operated or designated by Unity.
Users remain responsible for any AI agent, autonomous software system, or automated caller acting on their behalf, and breaches may result in account suspension.
This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
If you want to use Unity's platform or data to train AI models, you must ask Unity for permission in advance.
You cannot use automated tools to extract data from Unity's platform without explicit authorization.

Track changes →Unity's July 1, 2026 update clarifies and restricts AI-related uses of its platform, requiring prior authorization for AI model training on Unity data or derived data, and restricting automated access to approved frameworks only. This change affects organizations that develop AI models, use automated integration tools, or deploy autonomous agents interacting with Unity infrastructure. Depending on an organization's use of Unity, this may require updates to vendor contracts, data processing agreements, AI governance policies, and internal developer guidance. The change does not appear to create new regulatory compliance obligations under GDPR, CCPA, or similar frameworks, but organizations should assess whether their current or planned AI training practices require authorization under the updated terms.
EU AI Act (to the extent Unity's restrictions govern training data for EU-regulated AI systems), GDPR (if model training involves personal data processing)
