À tous les utilisateurs du forum francophone qui l'ignoreraient, puisque rien n'y a été mentionné à ce sujet.
Contrairement aux fois précédentes, en acceptant le jeu Hero Of The Kingdom II offert dans le cadre des Soldes d'Automne 2023 de GOG, sachez que...
1. vous consentez MAINTENANT à PARTAGER AUSSI de l'information personnelle avec les « partenaires de confiance GOG »...
2. une NOUVELLE section intitulée "Communications marketing via les services partenaires" est alors COCHÉE par DÉFAUT dans la rubrique "Inscriptions Et Communications" de vos réglages d'utilisateurs...
Pour ceux qui peuvent, consultez les deux fils de conversation dédiés sur le forum principal (en anglais, donc)...

Outre quoi, je vous inviterais à comparer votre version du lancement des Soldes d'Automne avec la version originale...

——[ “Oh my – English, please…” ]——
To those who might be unaware, as nothing about it has yet been mentioned on the French forum.
Contrary to previous giveaways, by claiming the Hero Of The Kingdom II offer in GOG's 2023 Autumn Sale...
1. you are NOW consenting to ALSO SHARE some personal information with "GOG’s Trusted Partners’ services"...
2. a NEW entry titled "Marketing communications through Trusted Partners' services" is then CHECKED by DEFAULT in the Subscriptions And Communications section of your User Settings...
For those able, check these main Forum topics directly – everything was exposed there (and quite quickly, mind you)...

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/silent_optout_spooky_addition_to_gog/post1 This is actually opt-in as result of claiming a free game, but is hard to notice if you expect the same text to be there for every giveaway. TL;DR: With a new marketing communication option selected, you agree to share your email address to Google and Facebook (Meta) as a unique identifier. {…} I just noticed this silent addition in "Subscriptions and communications": "Marketing communications through Trusted Partners’ services".
We will use our Trusted Partners services (such as Google Ads and Meta ads - see the list and more details under the linked article*) to send you marketing communications about cool stuff happening on GOG. Keep in mind unchecking this does not mean you would not never receive any GOG ad - they will just be less tailored to your interests.
* The article is at support.gog.com/hc/articles/13109718168733
What this means: Even if you don't have an account on either of these services, they will be able to uniquely identify your behaviour on GOG even if you don't have an account on either of these two services.
What you should do: If you claimed a giveaway, untick that option. Right now. And use a content blocker. It's 2023.
"Subscriptions and communications" is here: www.gog.com/en/account/settings/subscriptions
What GOG should do: Stop with the spyware already.

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/silent_optout_spooky_addition_to_gog/post5 "Trusted partners" has worked its way into the vocabulary I see. Well, GOG's already collecting a ton of telemetry about their user's buying and gaming habits, so now why not make some money from that as well, eh? :P To be fair I sort of saw this coming and it's, sadly, a common practice in this day and age. Just look at the telemetry collected by almost all Unity games if in doubt.

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/silent_optout_spooky_addition_to_gog/post8 Hey everyone, I wanted to chime in here and share our perspective on the matter. When you give us consent for direct marketing communications, we will use the services of our Trusted Partners to allow for direct, online communications through third-party services - it is a common practise, but we wanted to be as upfront and transparent about it as possible, hence the notice visible on the screenshot. Of course, you can revoke your consent at any time by unchecking the “Marketing communications'' checkbox in your account settings.
So, in context of giveaways, you can claim one and then immediately revoke your consent if you do not want to receive a more personalized GOG ads.

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/silent_optout_spooky_addition_to_gog/post17 If the email address is truly hashed and anonymised and no other coincidental linked data is sent to google/facebook at the same time (such as user agent, screen resolution) which can absolutely be used to fingerprint users when you have the reach and resources as google/facebook - then it's ok. Not user-friendly but not abusive.
Only if:
1: you communicate all of this explicitly with an up-to-date accurate privacy policy (none of these details are explained properly in the privacy policy)
And
2: if you trust google. Most of us do not trust google but they are your trusted partners...so GOG by association can't be trusted.

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/silent_optout_spooky_addition_to_gog/post18 I wouldn't count on that "hashed" or "anonymity". Especially if one have the same Email Address for GOG and Google:
How it works ¦ You create a customer data file based on information shared by your customers. To keep your data secure, you can hash your customer data yourself using the SHA256 algorithm, or Google Ads will hash the data for you using the same SHA256 algorithm, which is the industry standard for one-way hashing
Google even have this hashed value of the Google user's email address recorded. They did said so:
Email address and phone matching ¦ Google keeps track of the email addresses and phone numbers for Google accounts and the corresponding hashed strings for those email addresses or phone numbers. After you've uploaded your customer list of email addresses and/or phone numbers, Google Ads will compare each hashed string on your customer list with the hashed string for email address or phone number of Google accounts. If there's a match, Google adds the corresponding Google account to your Customer Match segments (Customer list).
And sure enough, they have their guarantees:
• Limited data use. We won’t use your data files for any purpose other than to create your Customer Match audiences and ensure compliance with our policies. We won’t use your data files to build or enhance profiles of your customers.
• Limited data access. We won’t share your data files with other Google teams other than to create your Customer Match audiences and ensure compliance with our policies. We use employee access controls to protect your data files from unauthorized access.
• Limited data sharing. We won’t share your data files with any third party, including other advertisers. Google may share this data to meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request.
• Limited data retention. We won’t retain your data files for any longer than necessary to create your Customer Match audiences and ensure compliance with our policies. Once those processes are complete, we'll promptly delete the data files you uploaded via the Google Ads interface or the API.
…followed by:
[…] As with other Google advertising products, we may use information derived from impressions or clicks on Customer Match ads to improve Google Ads and other Google products and services.
Note: About the 'Limited data retention.', the data files they mention that they would delete will be the user's Email Address to be handed by GOG in this case, not the 'Customer Match data' that will be created by the whole process.
"Trusted Partners" in this context is more of an "assurance" to the users in their wording. Not that they trust them or anything. (nor it was reassuring)
Then ponder it all, if you will. "Enjoy!" *
