Riot Games reorganized and updated their privacy notice on April 14, 2026, consolidating sections and clarifying how personal information is collected and used. The main structural change combines collection and use information into one section and removes a separate section on purposes. The company also narrowed the scope of what third-party practices it disclaims responsibility for, changing from 'third parties we don't own or control' to 'third parties we don't control,' which could potentially broaden the types of entities Riot Games may have some operational relationship with while still disclaiming privacy responsibility.
Consumers: Riot Games may now be claiming it is not responsible for practices by third parties it does not control, even if it owns them or has some other business relationship with them, whereas previously it disclaimed responsibility only for entities it neither owned nor controlled.
Riot Games has restructured how it presents information about data collection and use in its privacy notice. The company narrowed its third-party disclaimer by removing the phrase 'we don't own or control,' replacing it with 'we don't control'—a distinction that may affect which entities the company is claiming it has no privacy responsibility for. For California residents, the notice now consolidates information about categories of personal information and their purposes into a single section rather than splitting them across the document. The practical implication depends on how Riot Games operationally interprets 'control' in relation to its business relationships and how California regulators view this language under CCPA notice requirements.
Removed 'we don't own or control' and retained 'we don't control,' narrowing which entities Riot Games explicitly disclaims privacy responsibility for.
Consolidated collection and use information into a single section for California residents, moving away from separate purposes listing in Section III.
