In our endeavour to furnish the gaming community with Services that elevate interactive content creation, certain features are monetized. This strategy enables us to offer our services for free while ensuring the ongoing development. For a comprehensive understanding of the data handling practices, we encourage you to consult the Twitch Privacy Policy.
The information shared with us by Twitch includes, but may not be limited to:
- Twitch account (id, username, display name, account email and creation date)
- Twitch account avatar URL hosted by Twitch
- Twitch bits transaction receipts
This enumeration is intended to provide transparency about the data we receive to enhance our services. Please note, this list may not cover all data types shared with us.
User data is initially generated upon the first interaction with the Firestarter Twitch Extension, encompassing basic Twitch account information shared with us by Twitch. It's important to clarify that this does not constitute the creation of a separate account with us; all account management functions, including credentials, remain under the purview of Twitch. Our receipt of this data is solely for the purpose of enhancing the services we provide through the extension.Data Use
At Firestarter, the data we collect is employed with a singular focus: to effectively operate and enhance the extension, its functionalities, and features.

The utilisation of this data is conducted with the utmost respect for privacy, adhering strictly to our principles of transparency and responsibility.

Our priority is to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of your data while maintaining the trust you place in us.
