The following courses will be available to you from November 29th: Games Developers’ Introduction to the Principles of Data Privacy and GDPR Whenever a player enters a video game they are sharing their personal information (data) with the game company and other players. Under GDPR and some countries’ Data Protection Acts of 2018, there are rules that must be followed to protect and regulate the use of that data. This course is perfect for familiarising yourself with the rules and ensuring that your software is aligned. QA Managers’ Introduction to the Principles of Data Privacy and GDPR When testing a game and ensuring compliance with the new GDPR and Data Protection Acts, the QA team must ensure that the players’ personal information (data) is protected within the game environment and console. This course will increase your understanding of these rules and help you to ensure your QA team is compliant.
