This means user data collected by Twitch can be transferred to an entirely different entity in a corporate transaction, potentially subjecting it to different privacy practices.
The updated policy now explicitly states that Twitch uses personal information to test and improve technology, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, and specifically to develop or deploy generative AI models and services. Previously, the policy described data use for content recommendations and service enhancement but did not explicitly disclose AI model training as a stated purpose.

Users do not have an explicit opt-out mechanism stated in this change, though they may review Amazon's disclosure and Twitch's privacy choices page for available controls.
