This policy explains what data Sony PlayStation collects, who it shares that data with, and what choices you have. Every time you use a PlayStation console or app, Sony PlayStation may automatically collect information about how you use it — and certain profile information is made public on PlayStation, the internet, and some third-party sites. You can choose between limited or full data collection, and you can opt out of Sony PlayStation sharing your personal information by visiting a specified link and completing a web form.
The PlayStation Privacy Policy establishes Sony PlayStation's data collection, sharing, and user rights framework across its console, app, and web ecosystem. Sony PlayStation may automatically collect device and usage information on a session-by-session basis across all supported devices, and may log activity across web, email, and advertising contexts through cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, browser configuration details, and embedded scripts. Personal information is shared with Sony Group companies for service delivery and third-party marketing outreach, and certain account information is made publicly accessible to all PlayStation accounts, playstation.com, and unspecified third-party websites, apps, and services. Users are offered a choice between Limited and Full Data collection, an opt-out mechanism for personal information sharing, and age-based collection restrictions for users actually known to be under 13. Continued use of the Services following a policy change constitutes the user's acknowledgment and acceptance of the revised policy.
As a PlayStation user, your activity data may be collected automatically every session across consoles, apps, and other supported devices, and portions of your account information are visible publicly on PlayStation, playstation.com, and some third-party services. Sony PlayStation shares your personal information with Sony Group companies, which may contact you about their own products and offerings. Simply continuing to use the Services after a policy update is treated as your acceptance of the new policy. If you want to limit how your personal information is shared, you can opt out by visiting the specified link and completing the web form Sony PlayStation provides.
