Privacy

(Last updated on June 1, 2025. See the Privacy updates page for more information.)

Some features of gta6wave are designed to collect certain types of personal data in order to provide the best user experience. This page provides detailed information about this process, and settings that you can customize.

The settings on this page will be saved locally on your device. Changing any of these settings will take effect immediately. If you're logged in to a gta6wave account, these settings have lower priority than the settings on the Account privacy page. In other words, if your settings on this page conflict with your settings on the Account privacy page, the latter will take priority.

By default, if you have not interacted with the settings on this page or with the privacy popup at the bottom right of the screen, you are opted out of all personal data collection.

You can use the checkboxes below to control groups of related settings all at once, or you can continue down this page for more detailed information and individual settings.
