Cross-Platform Identity and Gameplay Sharing

Medium severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Your gaming identity and activity data will be shared with multiple platform operators beyond EA, each governed by their own separate privacy policies, potentially expanding the reach of your personal data significantly.

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.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Open your game's settings menu or your platform's settings menu and adjust your Cross-Play preferences to limit cross-platform data sharing.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has jurisdiction over unfair or deceptive practices relating to cross-platform data sharing disclosures and consumer control over data flows.
