Riot Games restructured its Privacy Notice on April 19, 2026, reorganizing how it describes data collection, use, and retention. The notice now consolidates sections, changes cross-references from section letters and numbers to a new numbering system, and clarifies that California residents can find both the categories of personal information collected and the purposes for their collection and use in a single location rather than across multiple sections. The core privacy practices do not appear to have fundamentally changed, but the organizational restructuring means consumers may need to navigate the updated layout to find specific information.
Riot Games restructured how its Privacy Notice is organized, consolidating sections and updating internal cross-references. For California residents, the notice now explicitly states that both the categories of personal information collected and the purposes for collection and use can be found in a single section, improving clarity. The practical impact on what data Riot Games collects, uses, or retains does not appear to have changed; this is primarily an organizational and navigational update to the existing privacy disclosure.
The reorganized notice aims to make privacy disclosures more navigable, particularly for California residents who need to understand what personal data is collected and how it is used. Clear structure and accurate cross-references ensure consumers can actually locate and understand their privacy rights and data practices without confusion.
Clarified to state that both categories of personal information collected and purposes for collection and use are disclosed in a single section (Section I), improving consumer access to this information.
Simplified language from 'third parties we don't own or control' to 'third parties we don't control' and updated cross-reference label from 'Third-Party Websites and Services' to 'Third-Party Services'; no substantive change to scope.
This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Riot Games updated its Privacy Notice structure on April 19, 2026, reorganizing sections, updating cross-references, and consolidating disclosures for California residents. The change appears primarily editorial and organizational rather than substantive in terms of data practices. Compliance teams should verify that the reorganization does not create gaps in required CCPA disclosures (notice at collection, categories, purposes, retention) and that cross-references to privacy rights, data deletion, and opt-out mechanisms remain complete and functional. No new data processing practices or expanded collection authority appear to have been added; existing obligations under CCPA and similar frameworks remain operative under the new structure.
