"Merger or Sale— Excerpt from Twitch's Twitch Privacy Notice
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Data transfers in M&A transactions implicate GDPR requirements for lawful basis continuity and notification obligations to data subjects, as well as CCPA disclosure requirements. The FTC reviews data practices in the context of major acquisitions where data assets are material. Given Twitch's position as an Amazon subsidiary, any future divestiture or restructuring could trigger significant regulatory scrutiny. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. Merger and acquisition data transfer clauses are standard industry practice, but they create a structural risk that data subjects cannot fully anticipate. The notice does not specify whether users would be notified of a transaction or given the opportunity to delete their data prior to transfer. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users retain rights under GDPR even following a corporate transfer, including the right to object or request deletion. California residents retain CCPA rights. The adequacy of privacy protections under a new owner is a jurisdiction-dependent question. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise and B2B customers with data processing agreements with Twitch should include provisions addressing the continuity of privacy obligations in the event of a corporate transaction. Change-of-control clauses in vendor agreements may be triggered by such events. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether the merger or sale provision meets GDPR requirements for transparency, including whether it adequately informs users of the potential for their data to be transferred to unknown third parties. A review of data subject notification obligations in the event of a corporate transaction is recommended.
