Riot Games updated their Privacy Notice on April 14, 2026, reorganizing how they describe data collection and use — merging previously separate sections on what data is collected and how it's used into a single combined section. The language was also streamlined, including slight simplifications in phrasing. While the structural changes affect how information is presented, they don't appear to grant new rights or remove protections for most users.
The restructuring of the Privacy Notice changes where users — especially California residents — can find information about how their data is collected and used. The subtle narrowing of the third-party coverage clause may affect how affiliated or co-owned entities are treated under the policy.
Riot Games has restructured and updated their Privacy Notice, merging the data collection and data use sections into one combined section, which may make it slightly harder for users to find specific information they're looking for. The language has been simplified in places, such as changing 'personal information' to 'personal info' throughout. For California residents, the Notice at Collection has been updated to reflect the new section structure, but the underlying rights appear unchanged.
Riot Games updated their Privacy Notice on April 14, 2026, consolidating the personal data collection section and the data use/disclosure section into a single combined section, and renumbering related cross-references. This touches CCPA/CPRA compliance — specifically Cal. Civ. Code §1798.100 et seq. — because the Notice at Collection for California residents has been revised to reference the new section structure. The changes appear structural and editorial rather than substantive, but compliance teams with Riot Games in their vendor stack should verify that the California Notice at Collection still satisfies all required disclosures. No immediate action appears required.
1. CCPA/CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.100, §1798.110, §1798.115, §1798.130): The Notice at Collection for California residents has been restructured — categories of personal info and purposes for collection/use are now combined in one section (previously split across two sections). Under Cal. Civ. Code §1798.100(b) and Cal. Code Regs. tit. 11 §7012, Notice at Collection must clearly identify categories and purposes at or before collection. The merged section must still satisfy these requirements.
