If EA is sold, merges with another company, or goes through bankruptcy, all of your personal data can be transferred to the new owner, and EA will only seek your consent if the law specifically requires it.
This analysis describes what EA's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
A corporate transaction could result in your entire EA data history, including gameplay, purchase history, and communications records, being transferred to a new company with different privacy practices.
In the event of an EA acquisition or bankruptcy, all collected personal data may transfer to the acquiring party, and EA's commitment to consent is conditional on legal or contractual requirements rather than being a default practice.

"Disclosure in the event of merger, sale, or other asset transfer. In the event of a reorganization, divestiture, merger, sale, or bankruptcy, we may transfer all information we collect to the relevant third party and will obtain your consent to do so if required by law or contract.— Excerpt from EA's EA Privacy and Cookie Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Corporate transaction data transfers engage GDPR considerations around purpose limitation and the lawfulness of transferring personal data to new controllers without individual consent. The FTC Act and state consumer protection laws may apply if post-transaction data use materially differs from the original privacy policy terms. CCPA and CPRA do not prohibit such transfers but require disclosure, which this provision satisfies. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. This is standard language across the industry. The materiality depends on whether a transaction actually occurs and what the successor entity's privacy practices are. The conditionality of consent ('if required by law or contract') is typical but means users cannot independently block data transfer in a transaction. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users may have GDPR rights to object to data processing by a new controller following a corporate transaction, depending on the legal basis for the original processing. California residents retain CCPA/CPRA rights against any successor entity that receives EA's California user data. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Due diligence in any EA acquisition scenario should include assessment of data privacy obligations as material liabilities, including ongoing compliance with GDPR, CCPA, COPPA, and DPF certification requirements. Successor entities may need to separately certify under the DPF. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams involved in any EA corporate transaction should assess whether GDPR requires notification to supervisory authorities and whether data subjects must be notified of the change in controller identity. The DPF certification is entity-specific and would need to be renewed or transferred by a successor entity.
