EA has responded
""We have updated the End User License Agreement of Origin, in the interests of our players to create more clarity," EA Germany announced in a statement yesterday. "Origin is not spyware. Neither do we use nor install spyware on the PCs of users.
"We do not have access to information such as pictures, documents or personal data, which have nothing to do with the execution of the Origin program on the system of the player, neither will they be collected by us.
"EA takes the privacy of its users very seriously. We have taken every precaution to protect the personal and anonymous user data collected."
Origin's license agreement matches "industry-standard privacy policies", EA stressed.
But "where necessary, we will of course work together with the relevant Government agencies to ensure that our policies are and remain legally compliant."
One of the comments said it best, "if it is standard industry policy, then the standard industry policy should be changed". |
that's a lie wow there are some guys who let a process monitor run together with origin and origin simply scanned files for example it scanned skype and a document about diabetes
btw it was in the television here in germany as well on really every channel (RTL,ARD,ZDF,PRO7...!)

Well, just because Origin scans those files, doesn't mean any data about them are sent to EA. Not that I'm standing up for EA, or anything. Origin looks like a piece of shit (BF3, on the other hand, looks fucking awesome).
