If you turn it off by unchecking EA in-game targeted advertising in the Security and Privacy tab. You might still see ads from EA, but they won’t be based on information collected across EA games.

EA targeted advertising for mobile games

To control targeted marketing in our mobile games, you’ll need to review your preferences in your 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 settings for EA targeted advertising and third-party targeted ads.

How can I protect my profile?

Update your password, add two-factor authentication (2FA), set trusted devices, and add a secondary email on the Security and Privacy tab of your EA Account.

Who can see my EA Account profile?

Decide who can see your activity on EA platforms like the EA app. There are four options to choose from:

• Everyone: Any player can view your profile, even if you're not friends with them. Anyone can be recommended to you as a friend.
• Friends: Only your friends can view your profile.
• Friends of friends: Your friends and their friends will be able to see your profile. These are players who may be recommended to you as a friend.
• No one: You’ll be the only one able to see your achievements, game library, friends list, and wishlist. You also won’t get any friend recommendations.

What else can users see on my profile?

Want other players to see your achievements? Check the Achievements box. If not, leave it unchecked.

You can also choose whether you want your real name to appear on your profile by checking the Real Name box. If not, leave it unchecked.

How can users search for me?

Check the boxes to choose how other players can search for your profile.

If you have an adult EA Account, one way other players can find you is through other accounts linked to your EA Account:

• Xbox gamertag
• PlayStation™ Network Online ID (PSN ID)
• Nintendo Account
• Steam Account Name.

Other players will be able to find you if they search for the email address you use for your EA Account.
