The initial areas of concern expressed have already been resolved and the independent security audit is already underway. We are happy to say that without exception, the Overwolf team has been extremely happy to not only work with us on all of our concerns, but also issues raised by other members in our community. This is designed to highlight areas of concern regarding security and help them to prioritise and resolve any issues. This included them hiring an independent security contractor to conduct a full security audit. On review, we submitted several suggestions to the Overwolf team that they could look at improving moving forwards. The existing Overwolf app was the next area that we focused on.
Their Privacy Policy now reflects those changes. Soon after we raised this issue, Overwolf agreed and confirmed that they would cancel the contract with their third-party partner. However, given the market that we specifically work in and the number of younger players that play Minecraft, this was our first area of concern. This is a reasonably common practice in the industry. Prior to our contact, Overwolf had, as part of their privacy policy, the ability to allow them to sell data to third-party partners.
Along the way, we have also taken a close look at both the existing Overwolf app and how Overwolf practices as a company.
Soon after, we opened a dialogue with the Overwolf team to look for potential opportunities for us to work together.ĭuring these discussions, we took a much closer look at what Overwolf plans to bring to the table and also whether or not we felt that this would be a positive move for the FTB community. This has opened up a potential solution to issues we faced whilst migrating our content to our app. Since the end of our deal with Twitch, news of the sale of CurseForge to Overwolf was revealed.
