This Privacy Policy explains how Activision collects, stores, uses and transfers or discloses your Information; applies to all Activision websites, products and services ('Properties').

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Third-party data sharing implicates GDPR Art. 6 (lawful basis), Art. 28 (processor agreements), Art. 26 (joint controllers), and Art. 44-49 (international transfers); CCPA §1798.115 (right to know about disclosures to third parties); CPRA §1798.135 (right to opt out of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising); and FTC Act Section 5. Following Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard (October 2023), intra-group data flows require specific analysis under GDPR Chapter V transfer mechanisms.
