3. Advertising
As explained in the “Advertisers and Analytics Providers” section of our Privacy Notice, Twitch shares limited information to help ensure you receive more useful and relevant ads and to measure their effectiveness. Any personal information Twitch may have shared for the purpose of cross-context behavioral advertising, as that term is defined by the California Privacy Rights Act, in the twelve months prior to the effective date of this Disclosure, falls into the following categories:
- identifiers such as a cookie ID, a device identifier, or an anonymous advertising ID;
- internet or other electronic network activity information, such as whether you downloaded our app or other measures of ad effectiveness.
The categories of third parties with whom Twitch may share personal information for the purpose of cross-context behavioral advertising are identified in the “Advertisers and Analytics Providers” section of the Twitch Privacy Notice.
Twitch also processes personal information for the purposes of targeted advertising as that term is defined under certain state privacy laws.
We show interest-based ads to display features, products, and services that might be of interest to you. In providing interest-based ads, we follow the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising developed by the Digital Advertising Alliance (a coalition of marketing, online advertising, and consumer advocacy organizations). To learn more, please see our Ad Choices page and our Privacy Choices page. To learn more about how Twitch uses Amazon (our parent company) to provide interest-based advertising, please visit Amazon’s Interest-Based Ads notice.
4. Children and Teens
Twitch prohibits children under 13 from using its service. As stated in the Twitch Privacy Notice, Twitch allows teens to use its service with parental involvement or permission. These products and services may collect data from teens who use them, and their data may be disclosed in a limited set of circumstances, such as if we use a service provider to help us gather crash reports for analyzing the health of our devices and services. We do not serve cross-context behavioral ads to teens under 18 years old unless they opt in.
5. Your Data Rights
You may have certain data rights under state privacy laws, including to request information about the collection of your personal information by Twitch, to access your personal information in a portable format, and to correct or delete your personal information. If you wish to do any of these things, please contact us here under the ‘Privacy Questions’ category.
Additionally, you may have the right to opt out of the processing of your personal data for targeted advertising, as defined under certain state privacy laws, or the sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as defined by the California Privacy Rights Act. To do so, please visit Manage Consent Preferences in the Security and Privacy tab of your user settings at the bottom of that page. To disable interest-based ads provided by Amazon, please visit the Amazon Advertising Preferences page. You can also enable the Global Privacy Control (GPC) to opt out of cross-context behavioral ads.
You may also have the right to appeal the denial of any of these rights through our existing support process if we deny a data request. Depending upon your data choices, certain services may be limited or unavailable.
To ensure the safety of your Twitch account, we will generally ask you to verify your request using the contact information you have already provided. If you do not have an account, or if you are an authorized agent under applicable state law, email privacy@twitch.tv.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
