Twitch Plays Pokémon ("TPP," "We," "Our," "Us" or "The Stream") is a service provided to you ("User" or "Users", "Player" or "Players").
Twitch Plays Pokémon collects your Twitch public user ID when you watch or play. This is your unique identifier on Twitch, made available via Twitch API, which is publicly available. This data is necessary in order for you to interact with any aspect of our stream. It enables you to input commands, keep track of your PokéYen (virtual currency, used to bet on Pokémon matches), receive Tokens (virtual currency, based on stream donations, subscriptions, give-aways, and PBR avatar creation) and gain rewards like Badges (Icons next to your username that are visible on the stream). You will not be able to take part in TPP without it.
If you visit our companion website, https://twitchplayspokemon.tv, we will also log your IP address in our traffic logs, along with the page that was visited and the timestamp of the visit, as is common on the web. If you choose to log in to our website with your Twitch account, we will also log the Twitch public user ID associated with the visit.
We collect this data to:
- 1) identify malicious traffic
- 2) diagnose website and stream issues
- 3) enforce stream rules over alternate account abuse
- 4) verify an account holder during suspension appeals.
You do not need to log in to our companion website via Twitch in order to use our API or Leaderboard.
We do not and will never knowingly collect any information that can be used to identify you personally.
Thanks for playing!
