Redshell clearly says that it shares any kind of marketing data with third parties<sup><ahref="#1">[1]</a></sup>:

<p><i>
"For example: Studio X wants to run ads through Google AdWords. When a potential customer clicks on an that ad, they are sent through our tracking link and redirected to the destination set by the studio (in the same way a bitly link works) - usually their game's Steam page. AdWords provides us with unique id for that user and if they end up playing the game, we tell AdWords so they know the ad was effective."

Of course, the words "integrated partner" are used to describe these third parties. The bottom line is that other people are being
given this information. There is also an important distinction to make when talking about this: as Redshell's spyware is a product,
the information it's spyware collects about it's users to third parties, that doesn't mean that the buyers of the product do not or
will not sell the information that they collect through Redshell to third parties.
