@Sunny said in Privacy in gaming:
No PII is involved in a mush. Your IP does not, in most cases, qualify as PII, as it identifies a computer, not a person. So, uh, yeah.
If we're getting technical about it. From the GDPR:
Natural persons may be associated with online identifiers provided by their devices, applications, tools and protocols, such as internet protocol addresses, cookie identifiers or other identifiers such as radio frequency identification tags.
Though there's some debate on the subject when it comes to dynamic IPs. Also many games require or allow you to store your email address for idle notifications/password retrieval/etc., which is most assuredly PII. There's also the potential for PII to be included in mails, pages, etc. which one might argue players would have a reasonable expectation of privacy for (unlike public scenes or channels).
ETA: For example: I send a mail to my buddy with my RL name, address, phone number, whatever. One can debate the wisdom of that, but one cannot debate that it happens.
