Krafton admits sharing data of Battlegrounds Mobile players with non-Indian servers, read full statement

Battlegrounds Mobile India found itself in the crosshairs over sharing data with servers of companies in China previously.

Battlegrounds Mobile India drew flak for sending data of Indian players to servers in China -- something that got PUBG Mobile banned in India last year. Although Krafton seems to have fixed the issue through an update amid the growing calls for investigation, but mostly a ban, the company has finally opened up about this entire fiasco. In a statement, Krafton said it “is working to fully comply with the Indian laws and regulations” for the launch of Battlegrounds Mobile India. Krafton told India Today Tech that the company is “implementing the industry’s toughest standards for data security” for the game that is available in India through beta testing. And that is what Krafton is citing as a reason why some parameters do not meet the expectations. Krafton added that it “ is working to overcome any shortcomings throughout the Early Access testing period” of the Battlegrounds Mobile India. The data sharing with Chinese servers was not a slipup and Krafton knows that, which is why the company has talked about data sharing with companies based outside of India, but it is referring to them as third party solutions.Here is the statement from Krafton on the data sharing incident for Battlegrounds Mobile India:
