Hey everyone and happy new year!
I’m Famous (somewhat long, and unfortunately, not a funny story about the nick) and I’m one of the legal eagles at Paradox Interactive. This is my first post in the forum!
We are updating our End-User License Agreement (EULA) and have made changes to communication preferences, and I wanted to make a post about it. The EULA is an agreement you agree with whenever you purchase and install our games or use our services. The first change we are doing to the EULA is to change its name. Going forward, it will be called “Paradox Interactive User Agreement” (or simply “User Agreement”, the “UA”).
In addition to changing the name, we are also making the following changes:
In addition to this forum post, we will have a notice on our website, and we will also in the coming weeks send an email to all verified accounts about the updated terms.
Lastly, we are also implementing new Communication Preferences settings. The new settings allow you to control how we communicate with you through emails, in our services (for example our launcher and our websites), and through select partners to personalize advertising for our games and services on partner platforms and external websites. You can change the settings whenever and however you see fit. The new Communication Preferences can be found under “Profile” when you login to your Paradox Account.
That’s the change. I’ll stick around and check on this post from time to time to answer any questions you might have.
Wishing you all the best start to 2023!

In addition to changing the name, we are also making the following changes:
- We have removed wording regarding how we process your personal data. This is because our Privacy Policy is the sole document that explains how we process your personal data and to avoid confusion, we’ve removed this wording from the User Agreement.
- We have simplified the language and thereby hopefully made it much easier for you to read and understand it. There is now also a handy “summary” which we hope you’ll appreciate.
- The User Agreement will replace our Terms of Use, Mod Policy, and Game Content Guideline. There have been no material changes to those guidelines and documents, but it will now be easier to access all relevant information in one single document instead of many separate ones.
- The User Agreement will now be available on our website. It has previously only been available in connection with when you purchase and install our games. Adding it to the legal website will make it easier for you to find the document and for us to make updates to it when necessary.
