This links data collection to continued service access, meaning users who exercise data deletion rights risk losing the ability to use the Twitch Services.

Interpretive note: The excerpt does not specify which types of information Twitch reserves the right to collect. The consequence of loss of access is qualified by 'may', indicating it is not a certain outcome.
