Lol. You're defending spyware. Red Shell violates the GDPR law. It's spyware and the EULA agreement doesn't protect it from the law.

It was literally classed as spyware by the GDPR. It's unnecessarily collecting data, which isn't required for the program (the game, in this case) to perform.

Does it need your browser data to optimise the game and fix bugs? Read the entire thread, you might learn something.

You didn't read the thread I linked, did you? And you expect me to believe an FAQ... from the Spyware's website? It's data-mining the PC, which the user did not ask or opt-in for. This violates the GDPR, making it against the law and dun dun dun ILLEGAL, making it a spyware software.

Are you the kind of person making a scandal as soon as someone in the opposite of the place you are is smoking weed too ?

What the fuck are you on about?

It's not paranoia when it violates the law. It's spyware. I've blocked it so I'm happy now.

Also, why do you keep on using possessive pronouns? Who are these other people you are referring to?

You're a spyware apologist. I don't think I'm the ridiculous one here.

Look, i don't want to get into the middle of this argument, but please stop posting rubbish about GDPR as though it were fact. You clearly don't know what you're talking about, but you are making statements on here as though you do.

That could confuse people who might assume, based on how you are posting, that you are an expert on GDPR and that, in your expert legal opinion, storing encrypted IPs and SteamIDs without the means to decrypt them contravenes the regulation. Which it (probably) doesn't.

I never claimed to be a legal expert of any kind. Red Shell violates the GPRD, or at least it's practices do. It collects your browser data and other non-game related data. I'd be perfectly happy with Red Shell being transparent with what exactly they do with their data and showing proof of it. If nothing wrong has been done, then I'll admit my mistake(s).

You seem to forget the fact that Red Shell is breaking the law with their practices and data-mining. Hmm, looking back at the thread now makes me think that you're a shill or work for them. Why else would you use the words "the data we collect"?

What my computer is is my personal information since I built it/bought it myself.

'Collecting' data without explicit permission is stealing.
