After you close your account, Twitch may keep certain information for the notice’s activities or as law permits
If you close your account, Twitch may retain certain information about you for the activities described in this Privacy Notice, or as permitted or required by applicable law. This is an exception to the deletion you request on closure: both “permitted” and “required” by law are grounds, so retention is not limited to legal mandates.
Supporting quotations
If you close your account, Twitch may retain certain information about you for the activities described in this Privacy Notice, or as permitted or required by applicable law.
Qualifications & exceptions
Retention is “certain information”, stated as something Twitch “may” do.
Grounds are the activities described in this notice, or anything applicable law permits or requires.
Not stated here
Which information is retained after closure, and for how long, is not stated here; the retention section gives only purpose-based duration.
Cross-references
contrast (model-proposed): After you ask to close your account and delete your profile, Twitch deletes all it is not required or permitted to keep — contrast: Reviewed tension: the account-closure paragraph lets Twitch retain information after closure for the activities described in the notice or as permitted or required by law, while the retention section says that after a closure and deletion request Twitch deletes all information it is not required or permitted to retain by law, which names only the legal ground.
Usage data is kept as long as needed for the notice’s purposes, as law requires or permits, or as otherwise told to you
Twitch maintains data related to your usage of Twitch for as long as required to fulfill the relevant purposes described in this Privacy Notice, as may be required or permitted by law, for example for tax and accounting purposes, or as otherwise communicated to you. No fixed retention periods are given.

Retention of Your Information
Twitch maintains data related to your usage of Twitch for as long as it is required to fulfill the relevant purposes described in this Privacy Notice, as may be required (or permitted) by law such as for tax and accounting purposes, or as otherwise communicated to you.
Qualifications & exceptions
Three alternative grounds: the notice’s purposes, legal requirement or permission, or a period otherwise communicated to you.
“Permitted” by law is a ground alongside “required”, so retention may exceed legal minimums.
After you ask to close your account and delete your profile, Twitch deletes all it is not required or permitted to keep
Once you have asked Twitch to close your account and delete your profile information, Twitch will delete all information that it is not required or permitted to retain by law. Because “permitted” is included, information the law allows Twitch to keep may be retained even though nothing obliges it. The account-closure section states a wider retention ground, the activities described in the notice, which this sentence does not repeat.
Supporting quotations
Once you have asked us to close your account and delete your profile information, we will delete all information that we are not required or permitted to retain by law.
Qualifications & exceptions
Triggered by your request to close the account and delete profile information.
Retention of information the law requires or permits Twitch to keep is excluded from the deletion.
Not stated here
How long post-closure deletion takes is not stated.
