EA denies spying on Battlefield 3 Origin users

by BlackThunder on Nov.02, 2011, under News

EA has refuted claims from German gamers that download service Origin – required to play Battlefield 3 on PC – spies on users’ computer activity and could potentially break the country’s privacy laws.
German Origin users reacted in anger after images surfaced online appearing to show the service accessing external programs and data synced from mobile phones.
Additionally, the Spiegel newspaper printed a list of items from Origin’s license agreement it reported could violate German privacy law.

Media storm ensued after someone found Origin quering Tax data stored on the users PC:

:all your data belongs to EA, big brother, EA, Origin
