Consequences for in-game conduct are determined by an automated system, not necessarily by direct human review, with outcomes tied to a comparative behavioral grading process.
Riot Games has restructured how it presents information about data collection and use in its privacy notice. The company narrowed its third-party disclaimer by removing the phrase 'we don't own or control,' replacing it with 'we don't control'—a distinction that may affect which entities the company is claiming it has no privacy responsibility for. For California residents, the notice now consolidates information about categories of personal information and their purposes into a single section rather than splitting them across the document. The practical implication depends on how Riot Games operationally interprets 'control' in relation to its business relationships and how California regulators view this language under CCPA notice requirements.
