The privacy policy changed not explicitly for the game. It is possible the data collection behaviour has always been like that and they only now have rewritten it to comply with current laws. The way its written is common to comply with EU law (what in detail may be collected and for what purpose).
Nothing changed for anyone that bought the game and only plays the game exclusively (eg. on Steam).
That's exactly how it works with any other privacy policy you will find (except when the service is spun out in a subsidiary like Meta > WhatsApp LLC where WhatsApp has its own privacy policy).
Look at Ubisoft's privacy policy: https://www.ubisoft.com/legal/documents/privacypolicy/en-INTL
Ist's the same. Or worse maybe? They are more clear in their language on why and where the data gets collected. That's where Take-Two could have done a better Job.
Same shit. Not saying that I like it, but this is not new at all. Take-Two is not a suddenly a spy company that installs spyware. Privacy policies have been like this for years but it seems some people currently removed up to reading or caring about privacy policies for the first time in their life.
Instagram/Facebook and its "Business" products.
I truly believe Meta actively works on making its products as unusable as possible in a brower. As in: removing, breaking or obscuring functions that work in their apps. **This makes working as a team with different device types a massive pain in the ass. **
Don't even try to be logged out of an account and use these sites in a browser. You might as well have a 5 year old write a html page on a ducking Disney Princess Play Click & Swap Laptop that is more usable in a browser than Instagram without an account.
Disable automatic updates in the play store. I have them dissbled for all my apps to have better control over what is pushed upon me. I noticed that also stops the Duo icon to change when I was slacking off.
Correct, canceling the trial worked on the Apple TV page, but deleting the account does not work (see my other comment that describes the whole process).
Yeah. It's unacceptable. Still, I dare to say (and I hate to say it), Yandex has the best search engine index by far.
