French publishing giant Ubisoft has said that it is looking into the claims made by a data privacy group. 

In a statement to Eurogamer, a spokesperson insisted that the firm was focused on making sure user data was protected as well as saying that an internet connection is required for single player title was purely to ensure that the copy of the game was legitimate. 

"We are aware of the complaint and are looking into it," the rep said. 

"Ubisoft is committed to protecting players' personal data on our websites and games.

"For games that support offline modes, an Internet connection is required only at the initial launch—to validate the purchase and link the game to the player’s account— and players retain control over their personal data through our dedicated Privacy Center. We are continuously working to ensure transparency and empower our community with clear, accessible privacy tools."

Data privacy organisation NOYB filed a complaint against Ubisoft earlier in the month claiming the French firm was in violation of GDPR legislation due to what appears to be a lot of player data being sent off to a variety of external servers in 2016's Far Cry Primal.
