Children's Data Collection and Parental Consent

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Parents should be aware that children using EA services will have data collected about them, and some features require active parental consent to enable or restrict.

Consumer impact

EA collects a wide range of personal data including gameplay behaviour, device identifiers, voice and text communications, billing information, and advertising interactions, which it shares with advertising partners for interest-based targeting both within EA services and on third-party websites. Your in-game communications may be monitored, recorded, and reviewed, and device fingerprinting is used for anti-cheat and fraud prevention purposes. You can opt out of targeted advertising and, if you are a California resident, opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information by visiting EA's privacy settings at privacy.ea.com.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Contact EA's Privacy Policy Team at privacy_policy@ea.com to request access to or deletion of your child's personal data, referencing the child's EA Account details.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC enforces COPPA, which governs the collection of personal data from children under 13, including requirements for verifiable parental consent.
