"© 2026 Microsoft Your Privacy ChoicesExcerpt from Minecraft's Privacy Statement
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: CCPA and CPRA require businesses meeting applicable thresholds to provide a 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' mechanism, commonly labeled 'Your Privacy Choices' or with a prescribed opt-out icon. The California Privacy Protection Agency and the California Attorney General have enforcement authority. Other U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws may have analogous requirements. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The adequacy of the opt-out mechanism depends on whether it covers all required data categories and third-party sharing arrangements, which cannot be assessed from the provided text. Microsoft's scale of operations means that CCPA compliance is a material governance consideration. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have primary statutory rights under CCPA and CPRA. Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and other states with enacted comprehensive privacy laws may also require similar opt-out mechanisms. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations subject to CCPA in their own right that use Minecraft services should assess whether their use of the platform creates downstream obligations regarding the sharing of personal information with Microsoft or Mojang. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that the 'Your Privacy Choices' mechanism is implemented in accordance with CPRA requirements, including that it covers all categories of personal information sold or shared, and that opt-out signals including Global Privacy Control are honored where required.
