If I make a NSFW game and release it, will the game client expose my personal information? Will Unity disclose my personal information to certain people?
If you take a look, for example, at companies registered in the UK, you can notice that founders’ addresses are available publicly including the flat number.
If you are doing business in the modern world, and you are the stakeholder, then your personal data is not a big secret.
The form of business doesn’t really make sense in this case.
Another Example. This year Google Play and App Store forces to share and confirm personal information even for indie publishers, including addresses, phone numbers and email, to comply with the law of the EU.
Another Example. If you are a Website Owner in Germany, you need to share your address publicly on the website to comply with the law.
There is a trend all over the world to disclose founder information.
If you are doing NSWF product, release it in the jurisdictions where it is possible, staying physically in the country where it is allowed.
All of the above but I like to add the specifics of these questions …
… the “game client” (I assume you mean the executable and its data) will not contain personally identifiable information to the best of my knowledge. Unless of course you put it there, either purposefully or by negligence (ie debug build that contains symbols that in effect leave clues as to who you are or on which machine the build was created such as a public IP address).
Whether and to whom Unity discloses your personal information is in the user agreement and/or terms of service you signed off when you created your account. The real question here is: who are these “certain people” supposed to be? If you think store owners, then no. If you mean jurisdiction, them perhaps yes depending on applicable laws in a given country and if you happen to be at least a suspect in a major crime (or something to that effect).
The thing is, it really depends on what you’re worried about. If you worry about your employer finding out about the nasty things you did during your free time, then no and also it’s none of their business. If you want to be sure you cannot get held liable for releasing content that isn’t just NSFW but actually illegal, then you will always be at risk of prosecution.
I can argue with that.
Some countries have prescribed ethical standards for certain professions: teachers, judges, and so on.
If you violate them, including outside the work, you may be legally fired.
True! I simply assumed OP is a developer.
Thanks, I think it’s time to switch to godot.
What about the teacher of informatics that makes games during free time?
