#Analytics consent agreement from users

Hey guys, just a quick question:

Does UGS (Unity Gaming Services) Analytics require user consent like a pop-up message asking them if I can collect a few basic info?

ConsentState state = EndUserConsent.GetConsentState();
state.AnalyticsIntent = ConsentStatus.Granted;

I saw it automatically sends data to analytics like that in addition to what I would try to collect (map, game mode, kills, match length, etc.). Meanwhile, I also see that most games don't need have any pop-ups like that, and I'd prefer also not to...

Event gameEnded {
  "batteryLoad": "",
  "buildGUUID": "",
  "clientVersion": "",
  "collectInsertedTimestamp": "",
  "eventDate": "",
  "eventID": "",
  "eventLevel": "",
  "eventName": "",
  "eventTimestamp": "",
  "eventUUID": "",
  "eventVersion": "",
  "gaUserAcquisitionChannel": "",
  "gaUserAgeGroup": "",
  "gaUserCountry": "",
  "gaUserGender": "",
  "gaUserStartDate": "",
  "gameBundleID": "",
  "idfv": "",
  "mainEventID": "",
  "msSinceLastEvent": "",
  "platform": "",
  "projectID": "",
  "sdkMethod": "",
  "sessionEndState": "",
  "sessionID": "",
  "timezoneOffset": "",
  "unityInstallationID": "",
  "unityPlayerID": "",
  "userCountry": "",
  "userID": ""
}

Thanks in advance!

It depends entirely on the laws in the region of the user.

#

Most of the laws usually apply to personal information, though.

#

So if you're just collecting simple data about what goes on in your game, you probably do not need explicit user consent.

#

If you're worried about it, just do some simple disclosure somewhere that's just text and doesn't require user action.

#

"We collect some limited and anonymous data to help improve gameplay."

Its generally added as part of the EULA

#

But yea for Analytics 6.1+ you will have to set EndUserConsent.SetConsentState()

My game doesn't have a EULA yet, does that mean I would have to add it so when the user starts the game, he will need to accept the pop-up from steam?
or where would I put a text that we collect limited data? on the steam page or in-game

Should be In Game somewhere. It can be as simple as small text at the bottom of the main menu. But on release, you really should have a menu option to opt out of all data collection.
