In short

  • Fineprint found 2 quoted privacy clauses that match the consumer rubric.
  • This is a reading aid, not legal advice.

What you accept

If you use this site

Everyday words for the material promises and rights you give up. Each line includes a quote from the document.

Fineprint cannot see whether you agreed. This page is posted on their site. Open the original if you need to know how they say it applies.

  1. 01

    You are agreeing that the company may keep your data for an open-ended period.

    This product

    “Twitch will rely on legal grounds to process your personal information to the extent permitted by applicable law, which may include, without limitation: to honor contractual commitments, to take steps in anticipation of entering into contract, to fulfill legal obligations, to document your consent, and to support Twitch’s legitimate interests.”
  2. 02

    You are agreeing to terms that may still collect or retain data about children.

    This product

    “## Children’s Privacy IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE, OR THE MINIMUM AGE REQUIRED WHERE YOU LIVE IF IT IS OLDER THAN 13, THEN YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE TWITCH SERVICES AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER.”

What it can cost you

Downsides we could quote

Quoted clauses that can affect your privacy, money, or right to go to court — including terms that follow you to other products.

Medium cost

Indefinite retention

You are agreeing that the company may keep your data for an open-ended period.

“Twitch will rely on legal grounds to process your personal information to the extent permitted by applicable law, which may include, without limitation: to honor contractual commitments, to take steps in anticipation of entering into contract, to fulfill legal obligations, to document your consent, and to support Twitch’s legitimate interests.”

What that means: Old account data can linger long after you expected it to be gone.

Retention is open-ended or justified with vague business interests.

Medium cost

Children’s data

You are agreeing to terms that may still collect or retain data about children.

“## Children’s Privacy IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE, OR THE MINIMUM AGE REQUIRED WHERE YOU LIVE IF IT IS OLDER THAN 13, THEN YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE TWITCH SERVICES AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER.”

What that means: A child’s account or device can still generate a data trail.

The document addresses children but may still collect or retain youth data.

The same company terms often apply on these apps or devices. This is a lookup aid, not a claim we caught this company.
