I wouldn’t be totally surprised if it was taking a screenshot and analyzing it locally or maybe somewhere on the network, but I agree it’s really unlikely they’re storing it.
Comment on Vanguard takes screenshots of your PC every time you play a game

Even in corporate dystopia where they monitor you every 15 seconds screenshots are frowned upon. You never know what kind of sensitive data that can reveal.
There’s no way Riot is doing it. The backlash would be immense, and they absolutely know it.
This agitprop stems from the makers of cheat software who are mad that the risk of using their hacks will go through the roof. Sure, you can still get around it. But now if you screw up it’s a hardware ban.
They’re gonna lose a lot of accounts that they sell at $10/pop.
I wouldn’t mind talking more about security, but I’ll save that for another comment.

This is what I’m thinking as well, what’s the point of doing this? As you’re going to take and go through every image with a human checking it out? Just seems pointless.
