Privacy overview

Product overview

Cloud Diagnostics is a crash and error reporting tool that helps developers identify, investigate, and resolve the crashes and exceptions on client side devices that are hurting players’ experience. Cloud Diagnostics is a combination of Crash Reporting & User Reporting.

This documentation is intended to assist products to display their privacy compliance to Developers. It is not intended to be used as legal guidance or as a replacement to reading Unity’s Privacy Policy. If you have questions about a term used, please see the Glossary below.

If you have further questions about the privacy implications of your product, email DPO@unity3d.com with your question. For expediency, please list the product about which you are inquiring.

Personal Data Collected about App Users/ Game Players

Default Personal Data Collected (always collected in order for the product to work)

  • Unique installation-specific ID (via crash reports)

Developer Defines

While this product allows for the collection of developer defined data (via metadata), we require that you not collect personal data through this mechanism. Our systems will not understand that it is personal data and so such would not be treated as such in retention processes or data subject requests.

Relationship under Privacy Laws

Under GDPR, Unity is the Processor. You, the developer, are the Controller.

Under CCPA (as modified by CPRA), Unity is the Service Provider. You, the developer, are the Business.

As we are a Processor, we do not determine your legal basis for processing. Instead, it is your responsibility as the Controller to determine such a legal basis.

This product does not have a consent service. If the Developer determines they need to obtain consent, or provide an opt-out, they must implement it client-side in a way determined by the developer.

Data Subject Requests

Two of the most common data subject requests based in law are the request for access to personal data and the request for deletion of personal data.

Access

This service has no native functionality to support data access requests. You, the developer, are responsible for actioning them. You can action them by submitting the request here.

Deletion

This service has no native functionality to support data access requests. You, the developer, are responsible for actioning them. You can action them by submitting the request here.

Please note: this functionality only applies to this service. If you are using other services which collect app user personal data you will need to review that service's documentation for how it handles data deletion requests.

Dependencies

This product has no dependencies on other Unity products.

Data Retention

By default, personal data is retained for 7 or 90 days, depending on which Unity plan a developer has.

Child Privacy

This service is not intended to be used in applications with child users, unless you, the developer, have obtained Verified Parental Consent where required as outlined in Section 6.7 of the Terms of Service.

Privacy Policy Requirements

It is never appropriate to use Unity’s privacy policy for your application. You will need to ensure that the personal data practices are reflected in your Privacy Policy, as required in the Unity Terms of Service.

Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

Unity DPA applies to the transfer of data for this product.
