■ Summary of App Data

When you use one of our PlayStation Apps, information about the app, the device it is installed on and what you do on it will be collected. We call this information App Data.

We will always collect information that is needed to run the app. This is known as Limited Data and includes the following types of information:

Some information will only be collected if you allow it. This is known as Full Data. This includes more detailed information about you such as your page views and clicks when using the app.

We use the information the app sends us to:

If you have an account for PlayStation Network, we will add the information your app or device sends us to the information we already know about you. 

When a Child Family Account uses this App, only Limited Data will be collected.

You can find out more about what we do with the information we collect about you, who we share it with, how you can control what we do and what your rights are in our Privacy Policy. You can access our Privacy Policy by visiting www.playstation.com/legal/privacy-policy. 

■Complete App Data Explanation

What is App Data?

If you use one of our PlayStation Apps, we may access data from and/or store data on your mobile, tablet, PC and/or other devices that you are using.

There are two categories of App Data:

(1) Limited Data

Our servers need to send, receive and log the following Limited Data that is necessary to deliver our services:

 

(2) Full Data

We may also send, receive and log additional, more detailed information about the configuration of your app, your mobile, tablet or other device and which software is installed on it. Full Data may include more detailed information about your page views, clicks, impressions and video streams. It may also include data about how you use your app or device when not connected to an online service. (This information is then uploaded when the ap or device next connects to the internet.)

For example:

 

App Data is usually transmitted to us and stored with one or more unique network, device and/or account identifiers.

If you sign in to your account for PlayStation Network when using a PlayStation system (e.g. PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5), we may combine App Data with data collected from that system. See our privacy policy for more details (www.playstation.com/legal/privacy-policy or via your device settings).

What do the App Data settings control?

The App Data settings allow you to control which App Data we store and access. You can choose: 

 

The App Data settings are only associated with the device or app they are displayed on and are not associated with your account for PlayStation Network. You can control the access and storage of data on each device (e.g. PS4, PS5), app and web browser that you use independently from the others.

What do we use App Data for?

Limited Data and, if you allow it, Full Data collection is used as explained in our Privacy Policy (www.playstation.com/legal/privacy-policy).
