Netflix revised its Privacy Statement to clarify how it collects and uses personal information. The updated language expands disclosure of data collection practices, including newly explicit mention of voice inputs (transcripts and recordings), inferences about user preferences, and advertiser data collection. The changes also reorganize and refine terminology around identifiers and advertising practices, shifting from specific technical terms like 'Hashed Identifiers' and 'Resettable Device Identifiers' to broader language like 'Pixel Tags and other Identifiers'.
The updated privacy statement now explicitly discloses that Netflix collects voice inputs (including transcripts and recordings) when using voice-related features, and clarifies that it collects inferences about user and household ad preferences based on data it gathers. The policy also states that Netflix collects information on advertiser websites and apps, and that it receives demographic and interest data from advertising companies based on their own and other websites and apps. These disclosures expand transparency about data collection practices that may have been previously implied but are now stated explicitly. You can review Netflix's full privacy statement and adjust your account settings to control advertising preferences through your account settings.
