Opt In or Out of Information Sharing

You have the opportunity to opt in or out of getting more information from Microsoft and its business partners. This is an important opportunity. If you opt in, you'll receive regular communications from Xbox Live and others about new games, new content downloads, tournaments, contests, events, sweepstakes, and more. All you need is a valid e-mail address!

You can set information-sharing preferences while you're creating your Xbox Live membership.

To learn how to sign up for Xbox Live, see Join Xbox Live.

To opt in or out of information sharing:

1. From any area of the Xbox Dashboard, select your gamer profile.
2. From the Gamer Profile screen, select Edit Gamer Profile, Privacy Settings.

Note

Child profiles do not display an option for Privacy Settings, as privacy options for child profiles are managed from the Family Settings area of the Xbox Dashboard. See Family Settings for more information.

   • Select Opt In if you want insider information, including news on games, latest releases, downloadable demos, trailers, and other rewards and promotional offers.
