Do I need to disclose Unity Analytics in my privacy policy?

Yes. Unity Analytics processes player data and is a third-party analytics tool, so it must be disclosed in your privacy policy. You must identify it by name, explain what data it collects, and inform players that Unity Technologies (a U.S.-based company) processes their information. This disclosure is required under GDPR, CCPA, and similar privacy laws, and is especially critical if your game targets players under 13.

What specific data does Unity Analytics collect?

Unity Analytics collects player session and engagement data, in-game events and progression tracking, device and platform information (such as device model and OS), monetization metrics including in-app purchase (IAP) activity, and player retention analytics. This data helps developers measure game performance and user behavior patterns.

Does Unity Analytics use cookies that require consent?

Unity Analytics does not rely on cookies for its core functionality. However, your privacy policy should still address how player identifiers and device data are used for tracking. If your game uses other tracking technologies or third-party services alongside Unity Analytics, you may need a consent banner depending on your jurisdiction and player base.

Who processes Unity Analytics data and where is it transferred?

Unity Technologies, a United States-based company, is the data processor for Unity Analytics. Player data is transferred to and processed in the U.S. If you operate in the EU, you must ensure appropriate legal mechanisms (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place for transatlantic data transfer under GDPR.
