As a cable operator, Xfinity is subject to the Cable Communications Policy Act, which gives you specific rights over how your cable subscriber data — including your TV viewing history — is collected, used, and shared.
Your Xfinity TV viewing history is protected by federal cable privacy law requiring your consent before it is shared with most third parties — if you believe this law has been violated, you have the right to sue Xfinity in federal court for actual or statutory damages.
