When you use AI-powered features like the Epic Developer Assistant, Epic collects your inputs — which may include information that identifies you — and uses them to generate outputs.
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
The clause clarifies the operational flow of data through AI systems: user-submitted information is used as training input for generative models, and the resulting outputs are returned to the user. This establishes the functional relationship between input data and AI feature delivery.
Any information you type or submit into Epic's AI-powered tools is collected and processed by Epic, and the policy does not clarify whether your inputs are retained beyond the session, used to improve AI models, or processed by third-party AI infrastructure providers — creating meaningful uncertainty about the downstream use of potentially sensitive data.
How other platforms handle this
We generate new information from other data we collect to derive likely preferences or other characteristics. For instance, we infer your general geographic location based on your IP address.
We may (but are not obligated to) use automated systems and human reviewers to record, monitor, analyse, modify, disable and, store and review use of our Interactive Features...
To achieve these processing purposes, we use algorithms to recognize patterns in Service Data, manual review of Service Data (such as when you interact directly with our billing or support teams)...
