To help you on your epic journey to find the hidden settings that will restore your privacy, we’ve created a helpful sidekick we’re calling the Game Safety Buddy. We’ve read the cryptic language of privacy policies and built the Buddy to help you avoid traps designed to exploit your personal information. As Kelly’s comments attest, the ever-shifting sands of game privacy settings mean the Buddy won’t remain up to date forever—so use it well, and while you can. It will direct you to the most important controls you need based on your situation. Once you’ve found some helpful advice, the sections that follow provide more detailed context and background on some of the issues at play.
