What it is

Epic provides users with rights to access, correct, delete, and export their personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. These rights are exercisable via account settings or by contacting Epic directly.

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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The availability and ease of exercising these rights varies by jurisdiction, and users in non-EU/UK regions may find their rights more limited; the policy directs users to contact Epic but does not specify legally mandated response timeframes.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

You can request deletion of your Epic account and associated personal data, export your data, or object to processing by contacting Epic through the Help Center or account settings — but the process requires proactive effort and the policy does not guarantee the specific response timelines required by GDPR (30 days) or CCPA (45 days).

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.
  • Delete Your Data
    Go to the Epic Games Help Center and submit a privacy data deletion request. Provide your account details and specify whether you want account deletion, data erasure, or data export. Epic is required to respond within 30 days (GDPR) or 45 days (CCPA).
  • Export Your Data
    Submit a data portability request via the Epic Help Center by selecting the privacy request category and specifying that you wish to receive a copy of your personal data in a portable format.
