Companies change their terms quietly. We read every version and catch what actually changed. One email a week on the changes that matter and what they mean.
This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
“a buyer or other successor in the event of a sale, merger, divestiture...in which information retained by us pertaining to users of the Epic Services is among the assets transferred...”
“Cabined Accounts can play Epic's games (e.g., Fortnite, Rocket League, or Fall Guys), but features like voice chat and real money purchases are disabled.”
“We will delete your personal information, unless retention is necessary for operational or legal reasons, including to: provide the Epic Services you requested...ensure the security or integrity...exercise legal rights...”
“Epic does not sell personal data it collects or process it for targeted advertising.”
“Epic also does not sell or share the personal information it collects. This includes for users for whom we have actual knowledge are under 16.”
“Starting in April 2026, if a child's account remains inactive for 18 months, personal information associated with the account will be deleted...”
This policy explains how Unreal Engine collects and handles your personal data — and importantly, it commits to never selling your data or using it for targeted ads. If you are a minor, your account has additional restrictions and protections, including limits on what data is collected and how long it is kept. Using Unreal Engine's services means your data may be processed in other countries, and if the company is sold, your information could transfer to the new owner.
This privacy policy establishes the scope of personal data collection, use, sharing, and retention practices for Unreal Engine users, including specific protections for child and minor accounts. The document commits to not selling personal data or processing it for targeted advertising, and extends no-sale and no-share commitments explicitly to users known to be under 16. It authorizes cross-border data processing in any country where Unreal Engine operates, subject to applicable law, and establishes an automated deletion trigger for inactive child accounts beginning April 2026. Data use includes training machine learning systems for content moderation, and California users retain a qualified right to request deletion of their personal information.
Users can be confident that Unreal Engine does not sell their personal information and does not process it for targeted advertising. For child accounts, data collection is limited to what is needed to operate the account, and starting April 2026, personal information tied to a child's account inactive for 18 months will be automatically deleted. California users have the right to request deletion of their personal information, subject to exceptions for operational or legal necessity. Voice data may be transmitted to Epic if a policy violation is reported, so users should be aware that voice interactions can be reviewed in those circumstances.
