Today’s PC incremental patch for v2.7.10 contains some fixes and updates to the ESO Privacy Policy; all hyperlinks will now direct you to the proper pages, and we've added a section for third party marketing. In addition, all humanoid enemies will now utilize the correct combat idle animations that reflect their weapon type.
Just when I thought Zenimax's greed couldn't get any more crass. I think I'm done here.

They would rather you not opt out, which is why they don't spend the time/money to develop such an account option.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Thing is this is not actually new. You know all those contests they do? They're done in conjunction with 3rd party partners who will have received your information if you entered the contest. (This was in the terms and conditions for the contests, but I assume most people didn't read them.)
The only difference is now we have clear information on what will happen to that data and a way to stop it being shared if we want to.
Also in 11 days the EU is changing to requiring opt-IN - meaning unless you have explicitly said (or ticked a box to say) ZOS CAN send you marketing, give your data to 3rd parties or whatever else they can't do it. And the fines for breaking that law are done as a percentage of the companies annual revenue so it's a pretty solid incentive not to.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Seriously. They are going to put some advertising on their web pages, and use third party marketing companies to do it, and that is what trips your emergency jettison seat?

✭✭✭✭✭California residents can request once per year a report to see what data is gathered and used . I may write for request just to see exactly what is gathered just to see if it's anything to be concerned about for others . I have a feeling it's the usual information to make purchases that are shared with credit card companies to complete transactions online and to cover ZoS from future problems but just in case ... It's just an email to get one .3 -

I wonder if that is why they are sending this out right now? For atleast the EU players anyways.
I personally could care less what they do with the email they have for my account. Considering how easy it is to make multiple email addresses I have 1 for all my games, 1 for stores, and 1 for personal use.
Most people I know have multiple emails to keep there personal email free from add and other junk.

✭✭✭✭✭I will concede that subscribers pay for this service and we don't belong in the same money-grab-bag, however Zos has never treated subscribers well so I'm not surprised that we are automatically included.
