Once Human does not collect especially sensitive user data including information from government-issued IDs, publisher NetEase says, following criticisms and concerns from players in the wake of the survival game’s launch on Steam. The NetEase privacy policy, which applies also to Once Human, states that information from identification documents such as passports is collected by the game. In response, the Once Human Steam rating quickly dropped to ‘mostly negative’ owing to a large number of player responses citing apprehension about how the game handles personal data. NetEase now shares a statement clarifying its privacy policy and explaining that information from government-issued IDs is only requested in certain circumstances.
