Epic Games

• What does the app collect beyond what it needs to work?

  They collect account details, what you type and create, gameplay stats, crash reports, device IDs, IP address, and general location from IP, plus data from consoles and linked accounts.

• Does it record your voice, face or body, and what happens to that?

  Voice-chat snippets can be stored on devices and sent to Epic if someone reports a violation. MetaHuman also collects images of you to build a character mesh.

• Are your chats and uploads used to train AI models, and is that off by default?

  They say they train machine learning on your information for moderation and personalized recommendations. The documents do not describe a way to turn that off.

• Can employees or contractors read your conversations, and when?

  People at Epic review voice or text snippets when a violation is reported. They also use machine learning to scan chats for rule-breaking.

• Are you profiled or tracked for advertising?

  They use your information to customize and measure ads and have advertising partners. Several U.S. state notices say they do not process data for targeted advertising; marketing email can be opted out.

• Do they sell or share your data, and can you opt out?

  The California section says Epic does not sell or share the personal information it collects. They still disclose data to service providers, consoles, publishers, and LLM vendors.

• What rights do they take over what you type and what the AI makes?

  Games and in-game items are licensed, not sold. Display names, stats, and shared creations can be public. They do not describe a perpetual sublicense over everything you type into AI features.

• How long do they keep your data after you delete it, and can you delete it in the app?

  You ask Epic (or use support) to delete your account and data. They keep information as long as they reasonably need it, with extra rules for children’s accounts.

• Does it build a lasting memory or profile of you, and can you see, edit or turn it off?

  They build inferences and personalized recommendations from your play and purchases. The documents do not describe a memory screen you can edit or switch off.

• Do they commit to basic security, and have they leaked data?

  They say they use administrative, technical, contractual, and physical safeguards and will notify you of breaches as required by law. No independent audit is described.

• Is there a real age gate, and are teens protected?

  They collect date of birth. Children get Cabined Accounts without voice chat or real-money buys until a parent verifies through Kids Web Services and consents.

• Will they tell you when the rules change, and is the policy specific?

  Both documents are dated. Privacy updates change the top date and may include email notice. Terms promise advance notice of material changes, then continued use means you accept.

• Can they close your account without warning, and can you get your data out first?

  They can suspend or terminate for cheating without prior notice. Ending the terms can wipe games, Credits, and purchases, usually with no refund.

• If something goes wrong, who pays?

  Games are as-is. Their total liability is capped at what you paid in the prior 12 months, and you must indemnify Epic for claims related to your use or content.

• Do subscriptions renew on their own, and can you get a refund?

  Recurring subscriptions are charged on a repeating basis as explained at signup. Unless labeled refundable or required by law, purchases are treated as non-refundable.

The privacy policy is 6,821 words at a professional or legal expert level (Flesch reading ease 23); the terms are 13,285 words at a college level.
