“we require the ad partners we work with to process the personal info they receive only as permitted by a service provider or processor under state privacy law, and only to provide the services.”

This document explains what personal information Riot Games collects, how it is used, and what rights users have over it. Riot Games uses automated tools to scan your in-game communications and behavior and can suspend your account based on those findings, though an appeal and human review option may be available. Riot Games does not sell your personal information for targeted advertising, and if your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, Riot Games automatically applies it to your consent settings.
Riot Games' Privacy Notice establishes how Riot Games collects, uses, retains, and shares personal information in connection with the Riot Services. The notice commits that personal information shared with ad partners is restricted to a service-provider or processor role under applicable state privacy law, and that Riot Games does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Automated systems scan voice and text chat, grade behavioral patterns over time, and may impose consequences including account suspension, with an appeal pathway that may culminate in final human review. Voice chat is retained for 24 hours post-match, extendable to 7 days upon an unactioned report, and Riot Games cannot guarantee the security of personal information transmitted through the Riot Services.
As a Riot Games user, your voice and text chat are recorded and stored, your behavior is continuously graded by automated systems, and those systems can impose consequences—including permanent account suspension—without direct human review at the point of decision. If an automated behavior decision is made against you, Riot Games' complaints procedure may allow you to appeal and ultimately request a final manual review by a human agent. Riot Games does not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and it does not collect sensitive personal information as defined under the CCPA and GDPR. If you withhold requested information, you may lose access to certain Riot Services or their full functionality. As a concrete action: if your browser supports Global Privacy Control, enabling that signal will automatically be applied to your consent settings on Riot Games websites without any manual adjustment on your part.
