Activision may monitor or record your game chats and voice

The terms say game communications are not private and permit monitoring or recording chat and voice; Activision also describes game and device monitoring for anti-cheat.

Creating an account requires an email and collects identifiers

To create an Activision account, you need an email; registration also collects your name and username, and sometimes your phone number.

This applies if you create an Activision account; some Properties may also require linking a third-party account.

Activision shares information with group companies for their own use

Activision shares your information with group companies for their own purposes, including marketing, and says those companies' own privacy policies govern their use.

Mobile games may opt you into targeted ads by default

In mobile games, where law permits, Activision may opt you into targeted ads by default; advertising partners may combine device data with information from other services.

This applies to mobile games with advertising, and default opt-in is described only where applicable law allows it.

Some information may be shared or sold for targeted ads

Activision may share or sell certain identifiers, online activity, coarse location, or inferences for advertising; opt-out rights depend on your state.

The described opt-out depends on the privacy law that applies to your state; your state is unspecified.

Linking social media can reveal your real name to friends

If you connect an enabled social account, the terms say your real name becomes visible to your social-media friends, even if you use a gamer tag.

This applies only if you link a social media account and the relevant Activision account has that feature enabled.

Posting content grants Activision a broad, lasting license

If you submit user content, Activision gets a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable license to use it for any purpose, including commercially, without payment or attribution.

This applies when you submit user-generated content, including the examples listed in the terms.

Paid in-game content is licensed, not owned or transferable

If you buy or earn Service Provided Content, the terms say you do not own it and may not transfer it, even when it has a price.

This applies if you buy, earn, or otherwise receive Service Provided Content, such as virtual assets or unlockable content.

Activision reserves broad power to end or change account access

For U.S. users, Activision reserves the right to suspend, terminate, modify, or delete an account at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice.

The terms require individual arbitration and waive class actions

Most U.S. disputes must go to individual binding arbitration, not court or class proceedings; the terms allow an email opt-out within 30 days.
