Hi,
I tried mailing to this address but it does not seem to exist.
I send this message:
I live in Europe and have a question regarding data collection in Unreal
Engine.
Is it possible to disable data collection? Safe harbour has been cancelled
so can’t use that anymore. We make educational apps for kids and cannot
have any data collected.
I read that you had to recompile the engine to turn off data collection. Is
there an easier way?
If you are talking about being COPPA compliant, the explanation has been posted in this thread:
"You can open EngineAnalytics.cpp, search for ‘bShouldInitAnalytics’, then set the variable to false and compile the editor. Alternatively, you can delete the UE4-AnalyticsET.dll file from disk before you run. "
You’re totally right, that was an address I wasn’t even aware of. I spoke to the legal team and I’m making sure to have all those forwarded to the appropriate people. Sorry about the confusion on my part. Let me know if you need any more help
