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 ↗Connects to apps: Yes. 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 ↗
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 ↗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).
