Introduction
Twitch Streaming News is a niche website focused on Twitch livestreaming and streamer news. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us when you read articles, sign up for newsletters, comment, or otherwise interact with our site.
This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we collect, how we use and share that information, your choices and rights, and how to contact us about privacy. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use or access our services.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, information collected automatically when you use the site, and information received from third parties. Examples include: contact information you submit (such as email addresses for newsletters or messages), profile details you post in comments, content you upload, and information you provide when contacting us. We also collect technical and usage information automatically, such as IP addresses, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on pages, referral URLs, and clickstream data. Additionally, we may obtain public profile information from third-party services such as Twitch or social networks if you interact with those services through our site.
We collect data via the site forms and comments, server logs, cookies and similar tracking technologies, analytics providers, and third-party integrations (for example, social widgets, embedded Twitch clips, and advertising partners). We may aggregate or anonymize data for analysis and product improvement; aggregated or anonymized information is not considered personal information under this policy.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to provide, operate, and improve our website and services; to deliver newsletters, updates, and marketing communications when you have consented to receive them; to respond to your inquiries and comments; to personalize content and recommendations; to analyze site usage and trends; and to detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of our terms.
We may share personal information with service providers who perform functions on our behalf (such as hosting, analytics, email delivery, and advertising). We may disclose information if required by law, to enforce our terms or protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, sale, or reorganization. We do not sell your personal information for money; if our practices change, we will update this policy and provide required notices.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We and our partners use cookies, web beacons, local storage, and similar technologies to collect information about activity on our site. Cookies help us provide essential site functions, remember preferences, understand usage patterns, and serve relevant content and advertising. Types of cookies we use include essential cookies required for site operation, performance and analytics cookies (for site optimization), functionality cookies (to remember settings), and advertising cookies (to deliver interest-based ads and measure ad effectiveness).
You can control cookies through your browser settings by blocking or deleting cookies. You may also opt out of certain third-party advertising and analytics tracking using industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page or network-specific opt-out mechanisms. Disabling cookies may limit some features of the site or affect your experience. For more information about the specific tracking technologies we use, contact us using the details below.
Third-Party Services and Links
Our site may contain links to third-party websites, embedded Twitch content, social media plugins, and advertisements. These third parties operate independently and have their own privacy policies and practices. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party sites. When you follow external links or interact with embedded content, you should review the privacy policies and terms of the services you visit. Third-party integrations may collect information about you and your device and may set their own cookies.
Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include access controls, encryption in transit where appropriate, and regular security reviews. Despite these efforts, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You should take care when sharing information online and avoid posting sensitive personal data in public areas of the site.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights with respect to your personal information, including the right to access the personal data we hold about you, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, restrict processing, request portability, object to processing, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. California residents have additional rights under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and may request disclosures about categories of personal information collected, sold, or disclosed for a business purpose.

We will respond to verifiable requests in accordance with applicable laws. For some requests we may need to retain limited information for recordkeeping, fraud prevention, or to comply with legal obligations.

When we make material changes, we will revise the 'Last updated' date at the top of this page and, when appropriate, provide additional notice such as an email to subscribers or a prominent notice on the site.
