Analysis: There's really not much to say here. I was expecting a score lower than Epic Games' at least, and it seems to have matched expectations. Their privacy policy is very vague in terms of, well, pretty much everything. They say they collect your phone number, yet it isn't required when signing up. They say they process your information but never mentioned disposing of it after. They say they share info with 3rd parties yet never name even one of the aforementioned 3rd parties. Furthermore, you need to disable Javascript when viewing it and they will request HTML5 data when accessing it. This company is very, very shady in terms of data collection and processing to be honest. While finally being able to play RDR2 may seem tempting to register for an account, I'd avoid anything even barely resembling the Rockstar logo with all the vital information they're witholding. -10/10.
