GDPR conformity of the latest UE launcher update?

[dottedfish]

Hello again,

my last thread sadly vanished / I can't access it anymore. I also got no message, PM or anything about it's deletion.

So tomorrow is the definite go live of the GDPR. By that date all services in the EU need to be in compliance with the GDPR. The latest launcher update said:

• Improved social analytics

Could you verify if that is in conformity with the GDPR?
What data is being analyzed?
How long is it saved?
Where can we inquire and access about what data is being gathered about us for social analysis (right of access)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genera...ight_of_access

If need be feel free to move this discussion to a private line (PM, E-Mail etc. - you got the data) but please don't simply delete it again.

Thanks in advance and let's be Epic

Hi dottedfish.

I'm not the right person to answer this, but I just wanted you to know that your original post hasn't been deleted. I found it by looking at your profile - https://forums.unrealengine.com/unre...auncher-update

While the old thread is still there, what did 'strangely vanish' is this particular post:

Our teams are working to ensure we are compliant with GDPR which takes effect on May 25th. As far as the contents of that particular build note, I won't be able to get you an answer until Monday. Most people are out celebrating Mothers day so tracking this down now would present a challenge. Last edited by Kalvothe; 05-13-2018, 03:33 PM.

Here's hoping Epic aren't trying to pull a Whois / ICANN 'we-need-extension' stunt.
Seriously folks...Fortnite is a black hole on Epic resources but this can't be put off.
