Your EA Account Privacy Settings help you in a bunch of ways. You can lock your profile, so nobody can view it. Or you can have your profile set so that anybody can view it and add you as a friend. You can also decide if people can find you with other linked accounts such as Playstation ID or Steam.
Play around with your settings to see what suits you best. Different settings make it easier to find your friends and connect with others, while others let you play privately, combat harassment, and have your own personal gaming experience.
Open your EA Account and Billing settings, then go to the Privacy Settings tab.
Head to your EA Account and Billing Settings, then select Email Preferences.
Make sure to click Update once you’ve made your changes to save them.
There are a number of different ways to set up your profile. Here’s what you can do to make your settings work for you.
EA In-Game Targeted Advertising
This setting controls what data will be used to show you advertising, reminders, and in-game offers we think may be of interest to you. If you disable it (unchecked in the Privacy Settings tab), you may still see ads from EA, but they won’t be based on information collected across EA games.
For mobile games, you will need to opt out of in-game targeted advertising in each game's settings menu.
Each mobile game is different, but look for an option labeled Privacy or Privacy Settings. From there, you’ll find the setting for EA In-Game Targeted Advertising that you can disable.
EA Targeted Advertising on Third Party Websites and Platforms
This setting controls whether EA shares data from your EA Account with our third-party partners for EA targeted advertising on other websites and platforms.

Want to unblock someone on your EA Blocked Users List? You can remove them from the list any time later on.
