Content data: Video, audio, graphic, text, game level, account information, ad and other content that is requested and downloaded for the features, games, apps and websites you access online.

Network data: Network connections, IP address, requirements and speed of the connections."

Why the hell does HZD, a single player offline video game, need that data for?

Also:

Security data: Information necessary to detect and investigate malicious, unauthorized or fraudulent activity.

Legal data: Information required by applicable law and to demonstrate compliance.
