Scans under US law · no EU evidence
Twitch chat and Whispers · owned by Amazon
What we watch for — Twitch discloses scanning under US law. We watch for the first sign of the EU regime: a derogation filing, an EU-specific scanning clause in these documents, or its name appearing in the Commission's next implementation report.

text is the extracted record we hash and diff; raw is the page's original HTML kept verbatim as evidence — it renders without its styling here, by design.

Apple requires every app to declare the data it collects. This is Twitch's current declaration, as shown on the App Store; ScanRecords records when it changes.

What we searched for

A status that rests on absence is only as good as the search behind it. Every one of Twitch's 2 archived documents (32,719 characters) was searched for the same published vocabulary used on every company here — in English, German and French. The search is a plain function of the archived text and re-runs whenever that text changes, so it always describes the documents listed above. Re-run it against this archive yourself with tools/scan-terms.mjs.
