What it is

Activision may transfer your personal data to the United States and other countries, using legal mechanisms like Standard Contractual Clauses to attempt to keep that data protected under EU standards.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

For EU and UK users, the legal adequacy of data transfers to the US is an ongoing regulatory concern following the Schrems II decision, and the effectiveness of Standard Contractual Clauses depends on accompanying transfer impact assessments.

Interpretive note: The policy references SCCs but does not describe whether transfer impact assessments have been conducted or whether EU-US Data Privacy Framework certification applies, creating uncertainty about the robustness of the transfer mechanism in practice.
