Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

They are intended to enhance rather than replace the important notices in the Privacy Policy, which governs our collection, use, storage, and sharing of the information that we collect or receive from you. Customers should understand that Unity does not provide legal advice, therefore the information on this page is not a substitute for seeking your own legal counsel to determine the legal requirements of your business and processes, and how to address them.

Is Unity Collecting Information On Players Of My Game?

If you are a developer or publisher that uses Unity Ads, Unity Analytics or any other personalization service (e.g., GameTune), then yes, Unity might be collecting personal information on the player of your game. In the case of Unity Ads, the player will have the option to opt out of personal information collection and request a report on the personal information collected. For other personalization services, it is up to you, the developer, to implement the proper configurations that abide by applicable Privacy laws and regulations.

I want to build a game using Unity software, but without any other additional services, what should I know?

Building an application using a recent version of our Editor software will not result in the collection of information about your app users. However, if using a legacy version of the Editor, we advise you to check that analytics are switched off, which can be done using the below steps. Please note, these images are reflecting the legacy interface which had legacy elections. Please also refrain from turning on other services such as Unity Gaming Services (Foundation, Engagement, and Grow Services) as they may involve the collection of app-user personal data.

Did your Privacy Policy move from its current URL?

The previous privacy policy URL now directs the user to a privacy center where the user can select the privacy policy which applies to them. You may use the usual link which goes to the privacy center if you need to update your own privacy policy, or you can link directly to the Game Player and App User Privacy Policy

As a publisher, what should I do to be transparent with my players?

You should continue to notify your players about third-party ad partners (like Unity) that you share data with. You can do this by placing a link to our Privacy Policy within your own privacy policy. This is no different from the transparency Unity has previously recommended.

I sell assets in the Unity Asset Store. What do I need to know?

Unity has collected information about your device, including IP address, and your use of the Asset Store as well as any information you actively provided when you created your account. Our primary uses of your information will be to facilitate your placement of assets in the store and to ensure that you are paid in accordance with our agreement. Other uses might include sending you updates on changes or promotions in the Asset Store. You can access and update your account info by logging in to the Asset Store and visiting the Publisher Administration page. Also, when you publish or provide assets for licenses on the Asset Store, your seller name and other information in your Publisher profile will be visible.

I bought an asset in the Unity Asset Store. What should I know?

What is a Unity ID?

A Unity ID is your developer user account with Unity. Your Unity ID allows you to connect with your Unity teams and resources, and securely control access to Unity services for you and your team members.

How can I manage my privacy settings?

All Unity creators have access to a new privacy panel found at id.unity.com/privacy/edit. From there, you can directly access our services that have potential privacy choices for you to make via a link to the respective service’s privacy profile settings.

How can I manage my security settings?

All Unity creators have access to a new security panel found at id.unity.com/security. Here you can manage your 2-factor authentication settings as well as see your most recent sessions beside the associated IP address.

How can I delete my Unity ID?

In the Settings > Account Management section of your Unity ID, you can delete your Unity ID yourself or request that we do it for you. This process shouldn’t be taken lightly, however, as once your Unity ID is deleted all your personal information will be removed from many of Unity’s applications and services, including content you have created in connection with your Unity ID.

I Deleted My Unity Developer Account. Do I Have To Set Up A Whole New Account If I Want Back In?

Correct. If you were once a Unity user and deleted your account, you will need to begin the process over again. You will be able to use the same email to create a new account since all your information was deleted the first time. For more information on getting started again with Unity, please go here.

I Requested A Personal Information Disclosure Report And Have Not Received Notification That It Is Ready?

Please allow Unity up to 30 days to compile any personal information disclosure reports. If you still have not received your report after that time please contact DPO@unity3d.com.
