Unity Statement on GDPR Readiness
Unity Statement on GDPR Readiness
On May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will become effective in the European Economic Area (EEA). This new regulation builds on the data privacy regulations in place in the EEA since 1995. The GDPR provides specific protections for individuals in Europe on how their data may be collected, moved, stored and processed.

Unity Games and Data Collection
Unity Games and Data Collection
Unity is committed to the responsible collection and use of player data – and enhancing privacy safeguards. As such, if you are a developer or publisher that uses Unity Ads, Unity Analytics or any other Unity service, you can be confident that Unity is committed to GDPR compliance and will assist you with your technical preparations, including collaborating with your privacy and legal teams, so that you are aware of, and have confidence in, our GDPR implementation.

If you are a player of games made with Unity, or if you see ads in other games that are served by the Unity Ads SDK, we currently collect gameplay and device data. This data allows game developers and publishers to tune their games for player devices and to serve players with relevant advertisements about other games, movies and/or products that may interest them. These ads enable the developers and publishers to offer free-to-play games.

With the GDPR – and to be transparent about the data we collect and how it is used – we will be providing players with a data privacy option. On a game-by-game basis, players will be able to opt-out of data collection. As well, they will have access to Unity’s Privacy Policy (to be updated for the GDPR by May 25, 2018), and will be able to change their privacy setting any time they see an ad. Players who opt-out of data collection will still see ads, but these ads will be random and not tailored for the player.

What kind of player data does Unity collect and what does Unity use it for?
What kind of player data does Unity collect and what does Unity use it for?
If a game developer or publisher enables Unity Ads or Unity Analytics for their game, we collect data such as device type, country, device language, in-game behavior and purchases, IP address, Apple’s Advertising Identifier (IDFA), and Google Play advertising ID. This information helps developers and publishers tailor games and ads for players and their devices, such as providing ads designed for specific device types, player languages, and game preferences.

Why provide advertising at all?
Why provide advertising at all?
A great deal of creativity and resources go into making all games. Developers and publishers can provide free-to-play games because advertising helps cover their costs. As such, Unity tailors ad types and frequency so players have a better experience (for example, by seeing fewer but more relevant ads). This also allows advertisers to serve the most pertinent ads to players.

What’s with the “opt-out”? Is this opt-out consent?

The “opt-out” that you see in the privacy dashboard is not related to consent, but rather the right to object. It gives players in special circumstances the opportunity to object to our profiling, as called for in GDPR. With legitimate interests as a legal basis for its processing, Unity does not require consent. Here’s how that breaks down:

Other ad platforms are only an SDK, meaning they only profile for the purpose of advertising. This kind of in-game advertising (without any additional purpose) requires opt-in consent as its legal basis.

Unity is SDKs, it’s plugins, and it’s the engine itself. So, Unity’s profiling is compatible with other, more legitimate interests than merely ads. Crash reports, bug fixes, enabling user-user communication, etc., are each of legitimate interest to our gamers and developers. Our profiling enables those purposes. Unity is in a unique position because our profiling is compatible to those legitimate interests.

We recognize that some of our advertisers, publishers, partners, or developers might need a consent option for other data that they collect, and we're looking into it. We make tools for more than just ourselves and want to support everyone with whom we work.

Is Unity classified as a processor or a controller when processing data under the GDPR?
Is Unity classified as a processor or a controller when processing data under the GDPR?

Unity is a processor with respect to developer data in Cloud Services, and a controller of player data that we collect via Unity Ads and Analytics.

How will Unity allow players to opt-out of Analytics?
How do I make my game compliant with GDPR?
Similar to Unity Ads, you will be able to give players the ability to opt-out of data collection via a plug-in that you can integrate into your games. Integrating the plug-in will only be necessary if you are not using Unity Ads. It will be provided prior to May 25, 2018.

We have created tools to help your with your GDPR compliance. As such, if you are Made with Unity, we recommend you implement the Unity Data Privacy Plug-in.

What data does Unity Analytics collect?

Unity Analytics collects gameplay and device information from players who play games made with Unity. The only Personally Identifiable Information collected is device ID and IP address. The other data collected includes hardware specs, usage data, in-app purchase behavior, and custom event data (if applicable).

What does the Unity Data Privacy Plug-in do?

The Unity Data Privacy Plug-in will generate a link inside you game that redirects the player to a webview where they will be able to opt-out of data collection as well as delete historic data. It will also allow players to access the relevant information that has been collected about them.

How can I access and implement the Unity Data Privacy Plug-in?

The Unity Data Privacy Plug-in is available through the Asset Store. Please also view our documentation.

What versions of Unity does the Unity Data Privacy Plug-in support?

The Unity Data Privacy Plug-in supports versions:

4.7
5.2
5.6
2017.1+
2018.1+
When I implement the Unity Data Privacy Plug-in, will players need to update their app to see the link?

Yes - the Plug-in requires a new build, which means players will need to update their app.

If I have implemented the Unity Data Privacy Plug-in for one game, do I have to do so for the rest of my games?

Yes - opting out of Unity Analytics happens on a game-by-game basis.

As a player, how can I see the information a game has about me through Unity?

For any game that has implemented the Unity Data Privacy Plug-in, you will be able to click the link and then select “I would like to see my data.” This may take up to 24 hours to process.
