lol, I keep saying of course they don't care. You don't need to argue on something we agree on.
How do we know users don't care if they are not aware?

Also this isn't some overly cautious regulation that the EU have put in place. This is something enforced pretty much world-wide, I was surprised to even see countries like India mandating it

i don't think you require explicit user consent as long as you don't send and store this data which i doubt ascension is doing. it probably just checks if there is e.g. "cheatengine.exe" running and if so, refuse to start or flag account as potential cheater. no sensible personal data stored, no consent needed. if i would worry about smth like that, i'd probably worry more about the payment data they potentially store if you buy something in their store.

The laws I glanced at define it as _process_. Even storing a hash counts as processing. To go back to where this conversation started because nobody joining the conversation now is reading back, the governor was abandoned for less.

i've read the previous message and my point still stands. If you send this data to the Ascension servers and they store or process it there, they would need to disclose this in theory. If this only happens locally on the client pc and this stuff gets never sent anywhere, they don't need to disclose anything at all and it does not violate any of the things you named

And why does it not violate them? Please point me to where these multitude of legal acts require you to transmit that information in order for it to be eligible.

The governor processed local process information and compared it against a remote database of hashes. No information was transmitted out of the local environment. It still fell afoul.

Processing that information in the client software counts as processing it.
