| 5 | 5 | ## 1\. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) |
| 6 | 6 | |
| 7 | 7 | These FAQs provide a handy entry point to our longer and more comprehensive Privacy Policy (see Section 2 below). 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. |

| 9 | 9 | ### What's new as of May, 2020? |
| 10 | 10 | |
| 11 | On July 1, 2020, we made an edit to Section 12 to add a link to our California Consumer Privacy Act Transparency Report. | |
| 11 | On August 17, 2020, we made an edit to Section 12 to provide an additional summary of rights for data collected in Europe. | |
| 12 | 12 | |
| 13 | 13 | On May 27, 2020, we made the following updates: We are updating our policy to include a reference to our service provider's privacy statement in Section 5. We are notifying you by asking you to accept this new policy to be sure you see this update. Please note if you do not pay your Unity fees by credit card, this change has no effect on you. Other changes on May 27, 2020 include an addition of three partners in Section 16 for ads network partners. Note players in the European Union have had this information available to consider prior to today; however, we will only now begin sharing ads data with those partners for EU players. Finally, we have added a section about features involving Unity's access to cameras on devices. You will note there is similar language in the consent we request for access to the camera, and we do not collect images from your device at this time. |
| 14 | 14 | |
| 15 | 15 | Additionally, as of March 10, 2020, we are adding a last edit/review date. The difference between an edit/review and an update is that "updates" involve material changes to our policy whereas edits are not material or simply indicate a review has occurred. For example, we may make clarifying edits by giving additional examples. When we provide an update, you receive a notice to accept and read the changes, which are summarized in this first FAQ. |
| 16 | 16 | |
| 17 | 17 | As reminder, we enhanced our FAQs in May 2018 to provide more examples of how we may use some of the data we collect. These answers enhanced our prior explanations but are not intended to imply that these are new uses of collected data. Additionally, if your data indicates you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), we have added information regarding new choices enabled for in-game advertising, and information on how you can exercise your data access and deletion (erasure) rights. We have added the l"Data Privacy" icon to our ads, dashboards, and other points of interaction: |
| 490 | 490 | We employ a variety of measures to safeguard the collection, transmission, and storage of the information we collect. These measures vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect, process, and store, and the current state of technology. Please note that no system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to employ reasonable protections for your information that are appropriate to its sensitivity, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of the information you share with us and we cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, loss or inadvertent disclosure of your information. |

| 515 | If you are a European Union resident, the General Data Protection Regulation provides certain rights to you with respect to your personal data. Where Unity is a data controller, you have the following rights: | |
| 516 | ||
| 517 | - **Right to Access** - You have the right to request Unity provide you with a copy of your personal data. | |
| 518 | - **Right to Rectification (Correction)** - You have the right to request Unity to correct any information about you that you believe is incorrect. You also have the right to request Unity to complete information about you that you believe is incorrect. | |
| 519 | - **Right to Erasure (Deletion)** - You have the right to request Unity to erase your personal data, under certain conditions. | |
| 520 | - **Right to Restrict Processing** - You have the right to request Unity to restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions. | |

| 523 | ||
| 524 | To exercise the above rights, email [DPO@unity3d.com](mailto:DPO@unity3d.com) (or contact us as indicated in the 'Contact Us' section below). In some cases a Unity customer, such as a game developer, may be the controller of your data and Unity only a Processor. In this case, Unity will direct you to its customer, and Unity will support its customers in responding to requests as required by law. | |
| 525 | ||
| 526 | In addition, where our processing activities in respect of your Personal Data are subject to the GDPR, you may lodge a complaint with a European Union supervisory authority. If you do have a complaint, we would appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before approaching your supervisory body, so please contact us at [dpo@unity3d.com](mailto:dpo@unity3d.com) if you wish to discuss any complaint.

| 517 | 529 | |
| 518 | 530 | The Unity Service may contain links to other sites, applications, and services. Because Unity does not operate those other sites, applications, and services, we cannot take responsibility for the privacy practices of the entities that operate them. We recommend that you consistently check privacy policies to understand an operator's practices. As a reminder, this policy describes Unity's practices. |
