Not Approved
Why this application is not approved: The terms for Epic Games, which also cover Unreal Engine, are clear that personal information about users is collected as part of accessing the service. Overall, the terms are fairly standard in stating how the service will use personal information. Since there are clauses in the terms that some parents may be uncomfortable agreeing to, parental consent is required for every student that uses Unreal Engine in SCPS. Some highlights from the terms are below:
• The service may collect personally identifiable information from users, but the privacy policy does not place clear limits on the types of data that may be collected.
• The service may allow third parties to place trackers on user devices that are able to track users across the Internet.
• Service may collect personal information from third party sources.
• Personal information may be used for advertising purposes.
• Privacy policy does not place definitive limit on how long the service may maintain personal information.
• Service may share personal information with third party advertisers to conduct campaigns on the service’s behalf.
• Privacy policy indicates that reasonable safeguards are in place to protect personal information but does not provide information about how the service would handle a data breach.
• Children under 13 must participate in an approval process with their parents on the Service.
• By posting any content on the service, the student would grant the service a license to use that content in any way they choose without compensation to the student.
