How we read it: Short, plain and easy to miss: a single sentence at the end of a long paragraph about operating and improving the service. What Twitch holds is chat, streams and viewing behaviour, much of it from young audiences, and the document names no way to decline and no plan on which this does not apply.

What each plan can refuse

The same questions, asked of every plan we could identify. Every cell comes from a quoted clause or a documented search - see the evidence above.

How to opt out of Twitch AI training

Plan by plan, from what Twitch's own policy says about refusing. Where it publishes the steps, they're listed here with the limits they carry. Where there's nothing to switch off, or nothing graded, this says so instead of inventing a menu path.

All accounts

No opt-out is stated in the policy on file for Twitch.

What this policy has done since we started watching

1 CAPTURE SINCE 30 AUG 2026

The record starts here. Twitch's policy was first captured on 30 Aug 2026, and there's no earlier copy to compare it against, so this verdict has no history behind it yet. From now on every re-read is diffed against that copy, and anything that moves appears here.

Vendor response

From the company? What a reply does and what moves a grade.

We wrote to Twitch on 1 Sept 2026, quoting the clauses above and inviting a correction. Nothing has come back. That's published because a company declining to comment on its own policy is something a reader should know, and because the invitation should be on the record whether or not it's taken up. Any reply goes here, word for word.
