Activity Guide - Privacy, Security, and Innovation

Choose a Website and Find the Data Privacy Policy

Choose an app, website, or other online service you are familiar with to research their data policy. The easiest way to
find a data policy, if it exists, is to search for the company name followed by the terms “data policy” or “privacy policy.”

Your website or app: _______________________________________________________

Ea Sports

What Is Their Data Policy?

Respond to the questions below. Even if you can’t find information, you should record where you looked and the fact
that you can’t find it. If there isn’t a policy or it’s hard to find, that can be just as interesting as seeing the policy itself.

Question 1: What kinds of data is collected?

Your EA Account information, including your email address, username, real name, country, date of birth,

telephone number and password; Security questions and answers; Information you provide in response to surve

about their Services; Information you provide when seeking help from them, such as your name, telephone

number, and records (including call recordings) of the issues you experience; and Billing information, such as

your name, payment card number, payment account details, and shipping address.
Question 2: How is the data you listed above being used? What features are enabled by the data?

It is used to help them validate their decisions, identify the next great thing, and pursue the

unknown through experimentation.

Question 3: Does the company share the data with anyone else? Who?
They may share your information with third parties to serve you offers for EA products and services,

or offers from their third-party advertising partners.

Question 4: Can you get access to your own data? Can you modify what is collected, or delete your data if you
wish?

Yes, you have access to your data by logging in. You can update all account information (like your

email address, name, date of birth, and more), but there could be restrictions based on your country's

laws, and your ID can only be changed once every 72 hours.

Privacy vs. Security Tradeoffs

Question 5: Do you believe the benefits of the innovation you researched outweigh the privacy concerns?
Explain why or why not making explicit connections to responses 1-4 above.

I believe that the benefits of innovation definitely outweigh privacy concerns mainly because of how

technology advances as time goes on. I think that eventually even though EA Sports

keeps secure your information, people may eventually find a way to get that information no

matter what, for example, people may create an IP extracting tool to use when playing some of

EA Sport's games .

Question 6

● 1 - Totally Comfortable "Have my data! It makes the technology I love work and keeps me safe!”
● 2 - Mostly Comfortable "I want tech innovations and stronger security. Let's make sure we take care of the
most damaging privacy concerns."
● 3 - Mixed "There's a lot of this that makes me uncomfortable, but I'm still going to use technology."
● 4 - Mostly Uncomfortable "Privacy is more important than empowering innovations or ensuring security. I
would give up on some tech innovations to ensure my privacy"
● 5 - Totally Uncomfortable "I'd give up most technology and would like to see much stronger limits on what
kind of data can be collected and stored, even if it limits the introduction of new technology"

Which of the above categories best describes your overall comfort with using data to drive innovations or
ensure security? Write a paragraph below explaining your response and tying it to either the information in
this activity guide or discussions shared in class.
Categorie number 4 best describes my overall comfort, this is because i've not yet gotten an

information extraction or exposure, however, I have heard of many situations who've gotten things

such as their names used by other people, without their knowledge and most of all the biggest

problem for me is IP exctraction, I have heard of way too many people getting their IP extracted

because of how easy it is,specially because of how many ways people can extract IP's and it

happened to me once, but luckily when I was not in my home. Also, what i've recently liked is that

many companies are using many verifications method to ensure the right person is logging in, such as

EA Sports and Amazon.
