Twitch bots and extensions have access to chat messages, viewer lists, subscription data, and channel analytics through Twitch's API and IRC interface. Extensions that overlay on stream can access viewer location and device data. Twitch's Developer Agreement requires a privacy policy for all extensions and bots that collect user data, and COPPA compliance is critical given Twitch's younger audience demographic. Australia's Privacy Act 1988 and its 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) regulate how organizations with annual turnover over AUD $3 million collect, use, and disclose personal information.
