Riot Games updated its privacy notice on May 6, 2026 to clarify that its U.S. entity is now called 'Riot Games U.S.' instead of 'Riot Games, Inc.' throughout the document. This is a naming clarification change that affects references to which company entity handles your data under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and related international data transfer rules. The substantive data protection commitments remain the same; this is primarily a corporate structure clarification.
