When you link your Epic account to third-party platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, Facebook, or Steam, Epic receives personal data from those platforms including your display name, user ID, device information, and in some cases your name and email address.
This analysis describes what Unreal Engine's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
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.
Connecting your Epic account to any gaming console or social media platform causes that platform to transmit personal details to Epic — including your real name and email in some cases — building a cross-platform identity profile that Epic uses for gameplay, analytics, and potentially advertising purposes.

"When you link your Epic account with your account on a third-party social media (e.g., Facebook), gaming (e.g., Steam), or similar platform, we may receive information from that platform (e.g., your third-party display name, user ID, device information, name, and email address).— Excerpt from Unreal Engine's Epic Games Privacy Policy
