Change Summary

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.

	51	The Riot Services also offer social features like voice and text chat. When you

	>	thers. We may collect and use the personal info you provide, including to enforc
	>	e our Terms of Service (such as described in Anti-Cheat & Fraud Prevention and C
	>	ommunication & Player Behavior below), and in some cases it may also be collecte
	>	d or used by others without your express knowledge (for example, if you’re chatt
	>	ing with another player while they stream a match).
	52	When you play multiplayer games like League of Legends, note that some personal
	>	info will be publicly accessible to others, such as your game statistics and per
	>	formance. We may record gameplay and related personal info (such as your in-game
	>	name, build order, and in-game actions), and replay or otherwise make it availa
	>	ble to other players without further notice to you. For example, players can wat
	>	ch each other play League of Legends using Spectator Mode, and we may use gamepl
	>	ay footage to help promote or improve the Riot Services.

	56	Summary: We automatically collect some personal info about how you interact with
	>	and navigate the Riot Services, as well as the device and software you use to d

	>	imes, browsing heatmaps, searches, referral/exit pages, and activity and interac
	>	tions on our websites and in our game clients, including chat logs);
	59	Your computer or device (such as IP address, which may be used to infer general
	>	location at a city or country level, unique device IDs, processing capabilities,
	>	manufacturer and model, language and other regional settings, and screen resolu
	>	tion and similar settings);

	>	ding errors and response times).
	62	We may use technologies like cookies, scripts, and our own servers to help us co

	>	rovide and the personal info we collect automatically, including from the follow
	>	ing sources:
	67	We obtain personal info from third party integrations if you activate their serv
	>	ices in connection with the Riot Services. For example, if you link your Faceboo
	>	k account with your Riot Games account, Meta may disclose personal info to us in
	>	accordance with Facebook’s privacy notice and your Facebook privacy settings. Y
	>	our privacy settings on the third party’s service control what personal info the
	>	y can disclose to us—it can include personal info like your name, profile pictur
	>	e, gender, age range, username, language, country, your friends and other person
	>	al info you have made available on the platform. Please make sure you’re comfort
	>	able with what they might disclose by reviewing their posted policies, and if ap
	>	plicable, modifying your privacy settings directly on their service.
	68	We obtain info from third parties in the analytics and advertising ecosystem to
	>	help support our marketing initiatives, improve the Riot Services, and better ma
	>	nage our ad campaigns (like by displaying more personalized ads and measuring ho
	>	w effective they are). To learn more about these companies, see Analytics & Inte
	>	rest-Based Ads.
	69	We obtain info from vendors to help us identify from where you’re using the Riot
	>	Services (like your approximate location based on your IP address). This helps
	>	us, for example, process purchases (like assessing tax obligations), prevent fra
	>	ud or abuse of the Riot Services (such as identifying suspicious transactions or
	>	activity), and customize your visit (like displaying the Riot Services in your
	>	local language).
	70	We also receive personal info from third-party platforms (like the Apple App Sto
	>	re or Google Play) if you download the Riot Services (such as the Riot Mobile ap
	>	p) on your mobile device. This might include, for example, technical details (li

				458	We have chosen not to use advertising services that constitute a “sale,” “share”

				461	III. HOW LONG WE RETAIN PERSONAL INFO
				462	You can use many parts of the Riot Services without ever creating an account, pu

				>	ur name or email address to us. If you do choose to visit or use the Riot Servic
				>	es, we generally retain the related personal info as long as your account is act
				>	ive or as is otherwise necessary to provide the Riot Services, operate our busin
				>	ess (including for legitimate purposes like complying with our legal obligations
				>	, managing internal books and records, preventing fraud, resolving disputes, and
				>	enforcing our contracts and terms, such as this Notice and the Terms of Service
				>	), or to achieve the purposes set out in this Notice, unless a longer retention
				>	period is permitted or required by law.
				463	The precise periods for which we keep your personal info vary depending on the n
				>	ature of the personal info, why we need it, and relevant regional legal or opera
				>	tional retention needs. Factors we consider in determining these periods include
				>	the minimum required retention period prescribed by law or recommended as best
				>	practice, the period during which a claim can be made with respect to a contract
				>	or other matter, whether the personal info has been aggregated or pseudonymized
				>	, and other relevant criteria.
				464	The retention period applicable for your personal info needed to provide the Rio
				>	t Services to you (such as accessing the games) is limited to how long you maint
				>	ain an account. As another example, voice chat info is retained for 24 hours to
				>	allow any reports after a match. If a report is made, but no action is taken on
				>	the reported account, the communications would be retained for 7 days. If a repo
				>	rt is made, and action is taken, the communications would be retained for up to
				>	2 years. This is to enable Riot Games to properly investigate infringements of o
				>	ur rules and policies such as fraud, cheating, and disruptive behavior.
				465	When your account is deleted, we will delete the relevant personal info for that
				>	purpose (providing the service to you) but will keep some account-related perso
				>	nal info (your match history, for instance) for other defined purposes such as s
				>	ecurity and fraud detection.

	224	Note that asking us to delete personal info or refrain from processing it may al

	226	If we don’t take action on your request, or you’re not satisfied with a decision
