Rockstar Games Social Club – Privacy Evaluation

Users need to be 17 to join Rockstar Games Social Club. Users do need to link their XBox Live Gamertag or PlayStation Network sign-in ID to this site to get full access to everything. Despite its connection with Grand Theft Auto IV the content is nowhere near as violent or sexual as the game; in fact, you don’t even need the game to use the site (although users need access to the game to post stats). Rockstar Games Social Club’s terms clearly say that it is possible for a user to post personal information publicly on message boards, chat rooms, profile page, comment field or if a user’s screen name is their real name. Rockstar Games Social Club’s policies clearly state that personal information is collected. The terms also clearly say that information is used to display targeted ads. Rockstar Games Social Club’s policies indicate that they take reasonable security measures to protect user data. The policies do say that they don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years old.
