Twitch Privacy Notice

This document is Twitch Interactive Inc.'s Privacy Notice (last modified January 15, 2026), governing the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information across Twitch's websites, applications, services, and live in-person events, with Twitch Interactive Inc. designated as the data controller under data protection law. The notice states that Twitch collects a broad range of user-provided data including name, voice, image, chat communications, date of birth, credit card and billing information, and automatically collected data such as IP address, device identifiers, and behavioral interaction data; the terms authorize use of this information for service operation, content recommendations, advertising, fraud prevention, and analytics, and permit disclosure to Amazon affiliates, third-party advertisers, analytics providers, and other service integrations. Notably, the policy explicitly authorizes data collection from connected third-party platforms such as Discord, Steam, YouTube, and Riot without specifying granular limits on the scope of data obtained, and it permits badge scanning at live events with attendee data transferred to exhibitors subject to those exhibitors' separate privacy policies, which represents a potential gap in Twitch's direct accountability for downstream data handling. The notice references compliance obligations under U.S. federal and state laws and applicable international law, and includes jurisdiction-specific supplemental sections addressing GDPR requirements for EU/EEA users and rights frameworks for California residents under the CCPA/CPRA; regulatory exposure is heightened for EU and California populations, and the Amazon affiliate relationship creates additional data-sharing considerations that compliance teams should evaluate under applicable transfer and processor frameworks.
