This is like the prop 65 warning, companies are covering their asses, which results in the law becoming effectively meaningless. Because there could potentially be some medical records that you disclosed, say in a chat message, they have to say that they collect it. By making these strict laws California has basically opted everyone into everything being collected, because to say otherwise would put companies into into unnecessary legal jeopardy.
- sixothree 6y agoWould this data have been disclosed without the law?
- ajmurmann 6y agoI think the point is that the data isn't being disclosed under normal circumstances. With our without the law.
- rosywoozlechan 6y agoThey're not collecting medical information. They don't need it. There's zero chance that Doom Eternal wants to collect your medical information to sell to anyone. They just put this here likely because, like prop 65 warnings, to not put this here could put them in unnecessary legal trouble in the case of unforeseen situation where somehow someone's medical data got into their service somehow. The statement is essentially meaningless. Which is bad, because if there is a bad actor out there collecting your medical information, they've got the cover of this law to disclose it to you and not look bad because everyone else is disclosing it just to cover their asses. It just seems like a badly written law when a video game feels like it has to add this stupid disclaimer.
- sixothree 6y agoIgnoring that medical data is included in this category. Would we have known about this particular data collection without the law?
