Epic Games

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

  They collect account details, what you type or upload, gameplay stats, 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 sit on devices and be sent to Epic if someone reports a rule break. MetaHuman collects images of you to make a character mesh.

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

  They say they use your information to train machine-learning tools that detect and moderate rule-breaking, and they do not describe an opt-out for that.

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

  They say people may review reported voice or text chat to enforce the rules, not that staff routinely read all chats.

• Are you profiled or tracked for advertising?

  They use information to manage ads and list marketing and advertising partners. Third parties on some features may collect data over time. Some US-state notices say they do not process data for targeted advertising.

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

  The California and other US-state sections say Epic does not sell personal information (and California says it does not “share” it). They still send data to providers, publishers, and consoles.

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

  Games and items are licensed, not sold. Display names, stats, and content you create or share may be public. They can use feedback without paying you.

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

  They keep data as long as they reasonably need it. You can ask them to delete it or delete your account through support; they do not give a short in-app wipe deadline for everyone.

• 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 play and purchases. The policy does not describe a memory screen you can edit or turn 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 some breaches as required by law. No independent audit is described.

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

  They ask for date of birth and put under-13 users in Cabined Accounts with voice chat and spending off until a parent consents. Age is based on what the user indicates, plus parent verification for extra features.

• Can you sue or join a class action if things go wrong?

  Arbitration, but you can opt out within a window

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

  The privacy policy is dated. They update the date and may email you. Retention is described in general “as long as we need it” terms. The terms promise advance notice of material changes.

• 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. If the terms end, you lose games, credits, and purchases, usually with no refund.

• If something goes wrong, who pays?

  Games are as-is. Their payout is capped at what you paid in the prior 12 months, and you must cover their legal costs for claims tied to your use.

• 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, assume purchases are 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.
