Summary

This document explains what information Twitch collects about you, how it uses that information, and who it shares it with. Twitch automatically tracks your activity to serve you personalized ads and shares your data with Amazon and, in some situations, third-party exhibitors or a future acquirer of the business. You can withdraw consent for specific uses of your data, but refusing to provide or asking to delete certain data may mean you can no longer use Twitch.

Analysis

The Twitch Privacy Notice establishes the conditions under which Twitch collects, uses, retains, and shares personal information from users of its services. Twitch automatically collects device and behavioral data through cookies and tracking technologies upon service access or email opens, and uses that data for personalized advertising, content delivery, and marketing analytics. Personal information is shared with Amazon.com, Inc. and its subsidiaries under a minimum-privacy-standard condition, may be combined with Amazon customer data for joint operational purposes, and may be transferred to third-party exhibitors at live events upon badge scan, at which point Twitch's privacy protections no longer govern that data. Users who withdraw consent for a specific processing purpose are entitled to cessation of that processing, but users who decline to provide or who request deletion of certain information risk losing access to Twitch Services, and account closure does not guarantee full data deletion, as Twitch retains discretion to keep certain information as permitted or required by applicable law.

What this means for you

Twitch automatically collects information about you every time you access its services or open one of its emails, and uses that data to target you with personalized ads and measure marketing performance. Your personal information is shared with Amazon and its subsidiaries, and if you allow a badge scan at a Twitch event, your data moves to that exhibitor under their privacy rules, not Twitch's. If you have given consent for a specific processing purpose, you can withdraw that consent and Twitch will stop processing your data for that purpose — contact Twitch to exercise this right.

What changed Twitch expanded its personal information use policy to explicitly authorize using customer data to develop and deploy generative AI models and services. The updated terms now state Twitch uses data 'to test and improve technology, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, to support and enhance the customer experience across our products and services,' and added a sentence noting this includes developing or deploying generative AI models and services. The policy directs readers to Amazon's Generative AI Development Disclosure for additional details.
Why this matters The updated privacy notice explicitly authorizes Twitch to use your personal data to develop and deploy generative AI models and services. Previously, this use was not explicitly disclosed in the stated purposes. The policy now states data will be used 'to test and improve technology, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, to support and enhance the customer experience across our products and services,' with an added note that this includes generative AI model development. No opt-out or control mechanism is disclosed in the updated language; continued use of Twitch indicates acceptance of this data use under the stated terms.
