Agent Readiness is a derived signal — a synthesis of two existing cells (Access, Portability) plus one sourced factor (API access), not an independently measured grade. API access scale: Best (2) consumer-grantable API · Moderate (1) partial / encumbered · Restrictive (0) manual export only. What is Agent Readiness?

2Accessstated
Any logged-in user can request and download a copy of their user data from the Security and Privacy Settings page ("Download Your Data"), with the report completed within 14 days, satisfying the access right.
Twitch — Requesting Your Data From Twitch · accessed Jun 2026 ↗1Portabilitystated
Twitch provides a downloadable summary of your user data, but the published documentation does not confirm a structured machine-readable format (JSON / CSV), so portability is scored at the single-format level.
Twitch — Requesting Your Data From Twitch · accessed Jun 2026 ↗2Frictionstated
Access and deletion are self-serve from account settings (Download Your Data; the delete-account page) rather than a manual request queue, and the data report is delivered within a stated 14 days, placing friction at the low level.
Twitch — Privacy Controls & Choices · accessed Jun 2026 ↗2Deletionstated
You can close your account and delete your profile information self-serve at twitch.tv/user/delete-account; Twitch deletes all information it is not legally required or permitted to retain, so deletion is scored at the full level.
Twitch — Privacy Notice (account deletion) · accessed Jun 2026 ↗1Sells / sharesstated
Twitch shares personal information with third parties to track users across other sites and services for targeted advertising; it provides state-law opt-outs rather than not sharing, so sharing is scored at the partial level.
Twitch — Additional State-Specific Privacy Disclosures · accessed Jun 2026 ↗1Trains AIstated
Twitch's Privacy Notice makes no affirmative commitment against using personal data to train AI or machine-learning models; absent a clear no-training pledge, model-training use is scored conservatively at the partial level.
Twitch — Privacy Notice (silent on AI training) · accessed Jun 2026 ↗2API access — feeds Agent Readiness, not the /12stated
Twitch's Helix API uses OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow with refresh tokens that a consumer grants to an app and can revoke from /settings/connections, so agent access is scored at the full level.
Twitch — Authentication (OAuth 2.0, revocable) · accessed Jun 2026 ↗Reviewed Jun 2026 from Twitch's Privacy Notice, data-request help page, and developer docs. All cells "stated", not tested. Twitch (Amazon) offers self-serve Download Your Data (report within 14 days) and self-serve account deletion, plus a revocable Helix OAuth API. Weaknesses: the export format is not confirmed machine-readable, and Twitch shares data with third parties for cross-site targeted advertising (opt-out via state privacy rights).
How to request your data from Twitch
- Go to https://www.twitch.tv/privacy/controls — Twitch's data-request entry point.
- Security and Privacy Settings -> Download Your Data (access, ~14 days); twitch.tv/user/delete-account (delete); /settings/connections (revoke apps).
- Expected wait: self-serve Download Your Data (report within 14 days); self-serve account deletion; revocable Helix OAuth API — Twitch's stated turnaround (we haven't independently timed a request yet).
- No self-serve option, or want a formal request? Contact Twitch — Security and Privacy settings: https://www.twitch.tv/p/en/legal/privacy-notice/.
These steps reflect Twitch's documented process as of Jun 2026. The wait time is the company's stated figure, not yet independently measured by us.
