PUBG News & Updates | Will Government Ban PUBG??

After blocking 59 apps, some reports now suggest that the govt of India is screening 275 more Chinese backed apps including PUBG Mobile. In view of this, PUBG Mobile has introduced a noticeable change in its privacy policy for its Indian players.

The revised privacy policy states that each data PUBg Mobile collects from its Indian players are going to be stored on local servers within the country. It also notes that the Game has dedicated support, engineering, and other teams located in India to assist our users.

It further adds that the info collected is shared with third parties like cloud services for data backup, to handle support ticketing and fraud detection.“Our servers are located in India (in the case of users located in India only), Singapore, Hong Kong SAR. In addition, our support, engineering, and other teams located in our offices around the world (including the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Says PUBG.

Third parties that provide services in support of the game Services, including providers of cloud services that process or copy information identified during this privacy policy on their servers for the aim of providing the PUBG Services (including the sharing of in-game photos on WeChat, Facebook, Vkontakte, QQ, Twitter, Google Play, Game Center or LINE (as applicable)).

Does anything change for Indian players?

With this newly revised privacy policy, PUBG Mobile is stating that if you reside in India, all of your personal data that it collects are going to be stored in local servers and not in the other country, where the govt can request the corporate to share the info of Indian users. This also protects Indians from not having their data being sold off to 3rd parties in countries with no data protection rules.

Overall, it's a security measure and can not affect the gameplay in any sort. So if you're a fanatical PUBG Mobile player, don't worry, the sport will stay an equivalent because it was with the previous privacy policy.

What data does PUBG Mobile store in its servers?

PUBG Mobile in its revised privacy policy has stated that it automatically collects data like your open ID, IP address, device information (application version, battery level, WiFi strength, available space, network type, OS version, platform, carrier, country code, series ID, Android ID, MAC, and IDFV), registration time, login time, and knowledge regarding your use of the Game Services.

PUBG Mobile alternatives: Call of Duty: Mobile, Fortnite, more games you can try.

Apart from this, PUBG also stores data like transactions linked to player ID, your social media details, Advertising ID, your audio and text chats, an inventory of installed APK and running apps, and more.

The game claims that each one of the stored data is automatically deleted between 7 to 30 days after a user deletes their PUBG account. If you are doing not choose account deletion, but let the account stay dormant. The corporate will automatically delete all collected data after one year.

After all changes to the privacy policy, we have to wait and watch what decision the government takes about PUBG. PUBG has tried to save itself by changing the policies according to the Indian government
