Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch

We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

Tos/ privacy polocy

Why do you not inform us that you have made changes/ update these?
I would have thought you have to as this would effect the gdpr
Please explain @Kabam Miike @Kabam Zibiit @Kabam Lyra @Kabam Wolf @Kabam Wolf

    “LAST UPDATE JANUARY 3 2019”

    Try to read m’kay?
    Also, what even is the question?
    Are you saying kabam should have said, hey guys, check out the TOS again? Cause TOS pretty much only mean you can’t sue us for anything concerning our service, and most people who don’t try to skirt the rules don’t even need to worry about it

    Nothing is self explanatory. If they don’t say that, they can get sued

    They should have informed some members that the privacy polocy had been updated

    Why? ToS documents can be fluid and change without playerbase consent at any time. You know where its at and you agree to abide by the ToS whenever you play the game. What eas changed that you are concerned about?

    I really don't understand what you are complaining about.

    I’m asking why they have not informed us or the changes/ updates to tos and privacy polocy, not sure what’s hard to understand about it?

    It says when it was updated. Since when have they had to inform us? Its a posted document. As far as ive ever know, ToS changes dont have to be communicated just privacy policies.

    By the way, you should read the entire ToS. Says right here, they at least have to post when changes are made but CAN send a email or notification. They posted when the changes were made so they have met their criteria of what they need to do.

    @Demonzfyre is it legal though not to notify the player base that a change was made. I continued playing although I never knew a change was made as most don't read the TOS daily, so since I wasn't notified, I never agreed to the new terms. Now it really doesn't matter in the end as I'm going to play but I can see the OP concern, and do agree that if any major changes are made an email or in game message should be sent. These Im thinking didn't warrant that.

    If you read it, it says by playing the game you accept the terms.

    USA

    Then I can see the problem, this is an uk/eu law ( gdpr ) which means they should inform us but other countries don’t have the same laws, but this is a bit of a twist
    yltgxkg0bcrn.jpeg

    So we can’t break there rules but they can break there own agreements and gdpr laws.

    Yes, the notification is the date of change. Whats so hard to understand?

    Maybe they changed some wording. Maube they changed something that didnt require them to notify the player base. Their legal stuff has always been pretty tight.

    I cant keep repeating the same thing as you don’t understand, the gdpr is a law effective in uk/eu and we all had to agree to it to carry on playing the game, this law states that any changes etc we should be notified, kabams tos/ privacy can’t over ride it.

    I don't know how much clearer it can be for you. It says in the picture the minimal amount of clarification they need to do is post that it changed and they did. If you are so determined to be told what changed, send in a support ticket and ask.

    Do you really think they are going to illegally do something on purpose?

    OP is 100% correct.

    TOS are not legal contracts, but laws are law.

    If the GDPR says you must send a notification when the TOS changes, then you must do it if you want to provide your service in those regions.

    I had to agree to an updated TOS on some random app today In fact, and no, I'm not even in Europe.

    When the TOS changes, launching the game should inform you of the changes and require agreement before the app collects any more data or allows you to do anything in it,

    It doesn't matter what Kabam says or Canada says or the us says. Now they could hide the notification from those they aren't legally required to, but that seems to be more trouble than just telling everyone.

    I can’t answer that as I would have to be them but I do know they have broken some major gdpr laws already and they have a shock coming there way soon, but on the plus side the fine is only 4% of there yearly income and you have to remember google and Facebook have already been done for breaking the gdpr laws and that’s common knowledge if you look it up.

    I'm sure they've broken "so many". I'm sure you have all the legal proof for that claim too. You seem like a brilliant legal mind.

    you guys are confusing ToS with privacy policy. ToS has nothing to do with personal information and therefore has nothing to do with GDPR.

    ToS just lays out the terms that we (and kabam) must follow to continue to participate in their service. Aka, no account sharing, hacking, stealing, posting porn, ect, ect.
