Linking accounts triggers automatic data sharing from third-party platforms to Epic that many users may not anticipate, and the combined data profile this creates is significantly richer than what users provide directly to Epic.
Epic Games collects a wide range of personal data including gameplay behavior, device identifiers, IP address, payment details, voice chat snippets, and facial images, and shares this data with third-party ad partners, platform providers, and service vendors. Children are placed in restricted 'Cabined Accounts' with limited data collection, but parental consent unlocks a significantly broader data profile similar to adult accounts. You can manage your privacy rights, including data deletion and account closure, through Epic's Privacy Settings at epicgames.com or by submitting a request via the contact information in Section 12 of the policy.
