Unity changed a single term in their Terms of Service on July 2, 2026, replacing the phrase 'Project Data' with 'Project Materials' in a sentence that describes what is excluded from data collection. The sentence now reads: 'Project Materials does not include creative assets (including materials, shaders, textures, sprites, 3D meshes, audio files, and animation files), project names, asset identifiers, proprietary strings, or code comments.' This appears to be a terminology clarification rather than a substantive change in what Unity collects or does not collect.
The updated terms retain the same exclusions from data collection: creative assets, project names, asset identifiers, proprietary strings, and code comments remain outside the scope of what Unity collects as 'Project Materials.' The change reflects a terminology adjustment from 'Project Data' to 'Project Materials,' but does not alter what is or is not collected. The substantive protections for creative content and proprietary information remain in place.
