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.
