Disney+ added 64 sentences to its privacy policy on April 22, 2026, significantly expanding the scope and clarity of what information it collects and how it processes it. The new language explicitly states that the policy now covers data collected both online (on Disney+ sites and apps) and offline (in stores, theme parks, resorts, and cruise ships), and clarifies how Disney+ data collection interacts with third-party platforms and sites. The change makes clear that third-party sites may separately collect your information, that Disney+ privacy choices made on those platforms won't automatically apply to Disney+'s direct collection, and that Disney+ isn't responsible for other sites' privacy practices.
Disney+ now explicitly discloses that it collects and processes personal information not only when you use its digital services, but also when you visit Disney physical properties like theme parks, stores, resorts, and cruise ships, or call Disney guest centers. The updated policy clarifies that if you use Disney+ through a third-party platform (such as a mobile app store or smart TV ecosystem), that platform may separately collect your information independently of Disney+, and any privacy settings you configure on that third-party platform will not restrict how Disney+ itself uses the data it collects directly. You can review Disney+'s expanded privacy policy to understand what specific information is collected in physical properties and offline channels, and consider which data collection touchpoints apply to your use of Disney services.
