The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a set of regulations that aim to standardize the processing of personal data for EU citizens, in order to protect their privacy. This poses new challenges for game developers, production companies and studios making films, TV shows, music, books or video games – they must now consider a variety of points when implementing the GDPR changes. Especially with regards to how communication and exchange takes place today within these forms of entertainment – which has increasingly moved online, into virtual worlds.

Production companies and developer studios must also take into account the fact that they will have to comply with European data protection law, if they are distributing their games or products in Europe. This applies even for non-European publishers – who now need to ensure compliance with GDPR regulations. The measures taken by production companies and developers should ultimately benefit users or consumers, by providing them with increased protection of their personal data.

Data protection measures

Organizations must take a number of steps to ensure that they comply with applicable GDPR regulations when processing the personal data of EU citizens. These include conducting comprehensive data mapping assessments, creating and managing internal policies for handling customer/user data, updating binding contractual agreements, incorporating appropriate consent forms and implementing data protection by design (DPbD). Additionally, organizations should also monitor the way they collect, store, process and transfer personal data to ensure compliance with GDPR regulations.
