Plain-English summary
Riot Games utilizes automated tools for content and activity monitoring, which can lead to automated decisions resulting in account suspensions or content removal. Their Privacy Notice explicitly states that it does not cover the practices of third parties they do not control, meaning your data with those third parties may not adhere to Riot Games' privacy standards. Additionally, Riot Games collects comprehensive internet and electronic network activity information, including detailed interactions like mouse movements and chat logs, potentially allowing for extensive profiling of user behavior (data_use-1).
