Kick updated its privacy policy on May 22, 2026 to restructure how it describes data uses related to personalization. The policy previously listed a long enumerated set of purposes including payment processing, analytics, service improvement, and fraud prevention in a single continuous statement. The updated policy now separates the first two purposes (advertisement restrictions and service administration) into their own statement, then adds a specific example stating the company uses data for 'developing and improve our personalised recommendation algorithms' before continuing with the remaining original purposes. No new data uses appear to have been added; the change primarily reorganizes the policy text and adds explicit mention of recommendation algorithm development as a use case.
The updated policy now explicitly states that Kick uses personal data to develop and improve its personalized recommendation algorithms. Previously, this use case was not specifically mentioned, though algorithm improvement could have been implied under broader operational purposes. Under the revised language, users can see that data feeds directly into recommendation system development. The policy still does not permit personalized advertisements based on sensitive categories such as race, religion, sexual orientation, or health.
Policy now explicitly states user data is used to develop and improve personalized recommendation algorithms.
