Seriously, I can ring alarms about all the PPCPs and other micropollutants in your local water supply that has the potential to affect your hormone system and other long-term health effects in many different ways. If you know profiling data "can be used very far", then please explain to me what they can do. But from what I'm understanding with your comments, you're telling me to do my own research by reading more privacy policies, books with "actual researches" but no references to any specific books, to look at what other companies not directly connected with GOG, and to take your non-cited word on it instead of providing any examples of probability and consequences in any risk reports. What I'm trying to understand is how this data will be used later against me using recent historical examples. I do want to care, but you're not giving any good reasons for other people to care. Have you tried contacting GOG Support regarding these privacy issues and seeing what they have to say instead of presuming they're doing these things based on your work experience with other "shady" companies?īasically you are saying that it is in your opinion not a problem (in general) because it's not a problem for YOU, nor you care, plus you don't ACTUALLY know how far this data can be used But bashing others solely because they do care is just plain wrong.įirst, I'm not bashing you except for your terrible writing style, so stop getting high off your persecution complex fantasy and your moral high horse. Payment (obviously needed to ensure trust between users and GOG):Īll of this seems pretty reasonable to me considering other legitimate companies are doing the exact same thing. GWENT (not a concern if you don't play this): Other companies for legal, tax, audit, and accounting (needed to actually do business) Data storage companies for cloud saves (what are these guys going to do? make fun of how many hours it took me to beat Trails in the Sky FC?) Gamedevs / publishers if you activate their cosmetic "DRM" with their platforms (I don't care about cosmetic "DRM" in my single player games and if I do care, I'll just mod it in) Error tracking and crash reporting (I'll usually refund a game if the crashes are unbearable) Analytical tool companies (could be anything ranging from Google Analytics to Tableau, no direct effects) GetResponse for email deliveries (optional if you don't sign up for newsletters) Google Surveys for optional surveys (don't do surveys except for customer support responses) Google AdWords for online advertising (don't see anything with adblockers, so no direct effects) for customer service (only see it in email addresses when contacting support, otherwise no direct effects) Anyway, I too a look at their trusted partners and brackets with its direct effects on average folks like me: For a person who seems well versed in legal proceedings, you do realize defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty with proof? Not to mention it's nearly impossible to do nearly anything on the internet involving a personal account without having to agree to a privacy policy. So again, you've brought up that they could be selling it, but really there's no proof. B1tF1ghter: If the privacy policy (which is btw very incomplete) is of use then yes.Ībout the "selling" part, honestly, I don't know and you won't either unless you have undercover insider in GOG.īut they are (according to their privacy policy) transferring data to undisclosed partners (since their privacy policy is written very vaguely in a way that gives to much room for interpretation and therefore to much freedom of usage for GOG itself).
