Like many businesses, we use third-party service providers to perform certain business-related functions. Examples of such functions include hosting of databases and servers, backend system for managing Appstore content, processing payments, product and website analytics, customer support services, remote support, email services, social marketing, CRM and sales tracking for business development backend systems, communications with app developers, writing and maintaining QA test cases.
Third-party service providers only receive data needed to provide their services to us. We require service providers to use data only in order to perform the services we have hired them to do (unless otherwise required by law). We prohibit our service providers from selling data they receive from us or receive on our behalf. For example, we may use a company to provide us a ticketing system for the purpose of customer support. The information they may receive as part of providing that support system cannot be used by them for anything else. For more information about our service providers, please see our Third-party sub-processors page.
We use the YouTube API Services to support some of the Services, such as the ability to upload a video from the Overwolf platform and or Third Party Apps. If you choose to use these Services, you will need to grant us permission to access your YouTube account. We will make use of this access strictly to support the related Services. You can manage and revoke this access at any time via the Google Security Settings page. Please see the Google Privacy Policy for more information about how YouTube and Google process your personal data.
The Overwolf platform supports the display of ads within the Services and Third-Party apps. This helps Third Party App Developers make a living off their creations, and continuously maintain high quality products that are free of charge. It is up to the developer of the app to decide whether to include ads within the app or not. App developers must comply with Overwolf’s strict guidelines to ensure that ads never interfere with the gaming experience.
The Overwolf platform also supports opting out of in-app ads, by providing app developers the option to integrate a paid subscription plan for their app. It is up to the developer of the app to decide whether to include a subscription plan for the app or not.
To facilitate the delivery of ads within the Services and Third Party Apps, Overwolf uses trusted and well known third-party advertising service providers. For more information about the advertising service providers we work with, please see our Advertising service providers page.
Advertising service providers may personalize the ads they deliver to make them more relevant to you. This is based upon information they collect independently, and is stored in cookies by them. In addition, to support personalization of in-app ads, Overwolf may provide limited information to advertising service providers when they deliver ads. This information includes the name of the app where the ad is displayed, the last three games played on the computer, and some hardware information such as a description of the installed CPU, GPU and peripherals.
Third Party App Developers using our SDK or API will have access to their end users' data, including, but not limited to game data, device information, connected hardware, played games, captured media, etc. We required the Third Party App Developers to use such data only to provide the SDK/API functionality within their applications and/or services.
In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the transferred business assets. Moreover, if we, or substantially all of our assets, were acquired, or if we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of us or our assets may continue to use your Personal Data as set forth in this Privacy Notice.

You should exercise caution when disclosing any information (including Personal Data) in such venues, as you do not know who will access or use such information and for what purposes.
We use subcontractors and service providers and have business partners and affiliates who are located in countries other than your own, as set forth above and send them information we receive (including Personal Data). We conduct such international transfers since we use trusted service providers located in different countries. We will ensure that these third parties will be subject to written agreements ensuring the same level of privacy and data protection as set forth in this Privacy Notice, including appropriate remedies in the event of the violation of your data protection rights in such a third country.
