What will happen in your session?

The new tech privacy rule: General Data Protection Regulation to protect EU residents and make awareness about how companies use their information. While GDPR addressed tech companies like Facebook, expansive definition of personal data- everything from names to IP addresses. Gamers are protected while playing online or posting in forums but in complying with the EU regulations, gaming companies are nervous to get affected of these rules and required to be more explicit about how they're studying gamer activity but these benefits are invisible to the players.

Biggest concern with GDPR is that it is still need to be defined as big studios collect information on how players move in their games and use that to refine gameplay called telemetrics.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

Gaming companies probably weren't the GDPR's first target, but given the law's broad language, they've also needed to comply to do business with EU users.

To give a concept for better privacy protections for gamers both in and out of Europe, and clarity on how their data works. But if these new policies end up guarding information from falling into the wrong hands, it will have been worth the effort for the gaming industry to avoid a data breach.

Given the facts that many gaming companies were closed off due to GDPR's regulation as they found it more suitable and safe than updating their system with new rules.
