Third-Party Advertising Data Sharing

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Sharing behavioral and device-level data with third-party advertisers is one of the broadest forms of data disclosure in this policy, and under CCPA it may constitute a 'sale' or 'sharing' of personal information requiring an opt-out mechanism.

Consumer impact

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.

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.
  • Export Your Data
    Submit a privacy rights request through Epic's Help Center to opt out of data sharing for advertising purposes or to request a copy of the personal data shared with third parties. Select 'Privacy Request' and specify your opt-out or access request.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has Section 5 authority over unfair or deceptive data sharing practices with third-party advertisers and is actively pursuing commercial surveillance rulemaking.
