    Yes, privacy laws, but the data they are collecting is to make the service possible. Unless I’m mistaken, a user would be allowed to request deletion of the data prior to account deletion.

    Other software vendors literally install a rootkit on your PC for anti-cheat measures and if you have a phone with Google or Apple software running on, your privacy is out of the window as they collect a whole bunch of information by default. Hell, Microsoft probably knows you’re using a pirated or unlicensed version with your permanent connection to the internet. All by the book.
