I'm not going to speak to the legalities of having software that "spies" for potential cheat applications that may or may not have more insight into what else you do on your computer, because that varies by state/country. Nor am I going to speak to the ethics of using a tool to watch for cheating that has potential to see more than just that, because obviously most of us have made our peace with that ages ago.
What I will say is that there are hundreds of people on each of two servers (and tens of people on a third) at any given time, so probably thousands of active users overall. P99 is a volunteer-run organization with limited resources and only a handful of active staff, so it is extremely unrealistic that they have the human bandwidth nor infrastructure to monitor what everyone is doing on their computers outside of flagging the hashes of certain apps (as someone else explained already very nicely). It would take at least hundreds of people to watch what everyone is doing on their computers. It would take petabytes of storage to even list the titles all the open windows on everyone's computers on every minute they're playing. In short, even if this massive invasion of privacy you're worried about is possible from a technical standpoint, it's not realistically possible from a resource standpoint. As for warning you about this, it's at least somewhat covered here in https://wiki.project1999.com/Players...rd-Party_Tools - specifically "Use of any third-party programs will be detected and will result in the permanent banning of your account(s)." They've warned you they're detecting stuff on your computer. Since you insist that's all you're asking them to do, asked and answered.

Nobody can even see what's in your browsers, that's just a dumb guy making dumb hypotheticals.
But also nobody is gonna go into extreme details at any software company about how their cheat/abuse detection algorithms do work, and just help people evade them. | ||

I often find that folks who try to be young lawyers tend to make some very big mistakes when they think they have some leverage, particularly in the areas of federal extortion law, and laws regarding implied threats of lawsuits, especially when made interstate (such as telling them how they should spend their money while alleging illegal activity).
If someone thinks they have knowledge of illegal activity (mistaken or otherwise) the only appropriate recourse is to use the proper channels. Not linger around their public fora, attempting to illegally intimidate with said "information". Certainly the dumbest possible thing that person could do would be to repeatedly return, digging the hole deeper and building that case via threatening interstate wire communications. If they were to spend money on an attorney, there's a high chance that the actual outcome would be a referral for prosecution letter detailing that person's actions to a US attorney. Quote:

My bet is that P99 is forwarding this data-collection to Daybreak, by the way, just to say "thank you"... ;-)
