GNOMEDEVS, INC.("GNOMEDEVS") values your privacy. To learn more about what personal and user data GNOMEDEVS collects, uses, retains and shares; how we protect your personal data in compliance with applicable laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 ("GDPR"); and what choices and means of control you have over your personal data, please read this statement in its entirety.
This privacy statement was last updated on November 12, 2024.
If we make important changes to this privacy statement, we will post a notice on our Site and/or contact our customers as appropriate or as required by applicable law.
This statement describes GNOMEDEVS's customer privacy practices for our GNOMEDEVS-branded global Sites, GNOMEDEVS services, GNOMEDEVS customer sales and marketing activities, and GNOMEDEVS customer services and support functions, among others. This statement does not apply to GNOMEDEVS employee data practices. This privacy statement does not extend to Overwolf, and Overwolf is not a party to this privacy statement.
Please also note that certain GNOMEDEVS Sites, or software experiences may have links to third-party Sites or services. In most cases, those third-party resources are subject to the privacy practices and policies of those third parties and not GNOMEDEVS.
GNOMEDEVS may collect certain categories of data about you when you use our Sites; use our services; receive our marketing communications; interact with our customer service and support teams; and in other contexts. The data we collect can be broadly categorized as follows:
Personal Data: This is individually identifiable data that you may choose to provide us. This may include basic information such as your email address and phone number, or more sensitive information such as your full date of birth or your payment information.
User Data: This is data that we collect from users of our services. User data could include personal data such as your unique GNOMEDEVS user ID or account username and password, but sometimes this user data is anonymous or "pseudonymous", i.e., certain user data that could be made identifiable if associated with personal data.
Location Data: This is data we collect that help us determine a location based on your IP address in order to customize our Service and for other uses consistent with this Privacy Statement.
GNOMEDEVS has various uses for your personal and user data you provide to us. Here are the principal contexts in which we may use, retain and share your personal and user data:
Sites and Account Management: Most often, you may browse our Sites without providing any personal data to us. However, if you choose to establish a user account with GNOMEDEVS, engage in e-commerce, sign up for marketing communications, or interact with our customer service teams or participate in a forum on our Site, we will likely need to collect some personal or user data from you. In addition, our web servers automatically collect certain data by default, such as IP addresses and other activity logs. This type of data is used for Site security and site improvement purposes. Much of that data is not readily identifiable and is usually kept anonymous. In order to maintain and improve our Sites, GNOMEDEVS uses third party hosting, content management and security partners, vendors and suppliers.
Sales: If you decide to purchase a service from GNOMEDEVS, we will need to collect certain personal data from you, including payment-related information. Typically, we use third party partners, vendors and suppliers, such as payment processing companies during our sales.
Marketing & Social Media: You may choose to receive GNOMEDEVS marketing communications, participate in an event/contest/promotion with us, or connect with GNOMEDEVS via social media. If you do so, we will collect certain personal data about you, such as your contact information, social media profile information and, in order to determine your eligibility for a contest or promotion, your full or partial dates of birth. GNOMEDEVS may share your personal data with our marketing agencies and partners to carry out our marketing campaigns, contests and promotions. If you wish to unsubscribe from our marketing, please follow the opt-out link in the communications you receive from us; update your contact preferences in your GNOMEDEVS account settings; or click here.
Product Registration: If you use GNOMEDEVS services, you may choose to establish a GNOMEDEVS user account. A GNOMEDEVS user account profile may include your username, password, settings, preferences, contact information, device ID information, and related data. GNOMEDEVS may share this information with other GNOMEDEVS subsidiaries and affiliates and vendors and suppliers, such as third-party hosting partners. Certain GNOMEDEVS product settings, preference information, applications history and location-based information may be used by GNOMEDEVS product development and improvement and customer service teams if you choose to enable enhanced customer support services.
Customer Service & Support: If you choose to interact with GNOMEDEVS customer service and support – whether it be via our Site, social media, chat, email or phone – GNOMEDEVS customer service teams (some of whom work for outsourced vendors and suppliers of GNOMEDEVS) may have access to your account information, product information, contact information and payment information. You may also be required to answer certain security questions to verify your identity and your call or session with GNOMEDEVS customer support may be recorded for quality and training purposes.
Job Opportunities: You may choose to apply for employment opportunities at GNOMEDEVS through the GNOMEDEVS Site. If you complete an application for a job at GNOMEDEVS, we may collect your contact information, job history info and certain other information that may be required or allowed under applicable laws to screen candidates for employment. We may share this information with other GNOMEDEVS subsidiaries and affiliates and vendors and suppliers who provide us with candidate search and hiring services.

A hashed email is a form of data encryption where an email address is converted into a unique string of characters through a cryptographic algorithm. This process ensures that the original email address is not directly accessible, thereby enhancing privacy and security. Hashed emails are commonly used in ad personalization to create a more tailored advertising experience for users.
It is important to clarify that only the hashed version of an email is shared with third-party partners. This means that the original email address remains confidential.
We understand that privacy preferences vary among individuals. Therefore, users have the option to opt out of the use of their hashed emails. To do so you can open the in-app settings. We are committed to respecting user choices and ensuring transparency in our data practices.
GNOMEDEVS's Sites, products and services are intended for adults aged 18 and older. Typically, if we become aware that we have collected personal data from persons aged 17 and under, we will take appropriate steps to delete and purge that data. If you think that your child provided personal information to GNOMEDEVS contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
GNOMEDEVS intends to retain personal data only as long as necessary to complete the purposes of use described above in section 2. When those purposes have been fulfilled, we will securely delete personal data as appropriate. However, we may retain your personal data as long as any of the following circumstances apply:
While GNOMEDEVS may share personal data it collects pursuant to the purposes described above in section 2, GNOMEDEVS does not sell personal data. If GNOMEDEVS did decide to sell personal data at any point, we would provide appropriate notice and consent mechanisms to individuals as required by applicable laws.
GNOMEDEVS may collect, process, use, retain and transfer personal data across borders in order to fulfill our purposes of use as described above in section 2. This may include transfers of personal data to countries that may not have equivalent privacy or data protection laws to those in your own country.
However, regardless of where we transfer personal data to, GNOMEDEVS takes appropriate steps to ensure that your personal data enjoys consistent standards of care. This includes signing contracts between GNOMEDEVS affiliates and with our vendors and suppliers to make sure that both parties are following consistent privacy and security principles, processes and protections.
For transfers involving European personal data, GNOMEDEVS uses Standard Contractual Clauses with its partners in compliance with GDPR.
GNOMEDEVS believes that privacy and security go hand-in-hand. We use appropriate physical, technical, and administrative controls to protect the personal data we are responsible for. That includes encryption and other enhanced security measures, where appropriate or required. We also take appropriate steps to make sure that our vendors, suppliers and certain other partners adopt consistent standards of protection for the personal data that GNOMEDEVS is responsible for.
However, it is important to note that no technology is guaranteed to be invulnerable to threat or attack. Therefore, please be sure to exercise care when using any Site or product. If technology you use is configured with privacy or security controls or features, please be sure to utilize those.
