Responsibility for Third-Party Sites and Applications

What it is

When you click links from Disney+ to other websites, Disney is not responsible for how those sites collect or use your personal information — you need to read their privacy policies separately.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Clicking any external link from Disney+ transfers you to a site with its own privacy rules, and Disney explicitly disclaims responsibility for any data collected by those third parties, leaving you without Disney's privacy protections for any information shared on those sites.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Disney+ users who follow links to external sites may unknowingly be subject to entirely different and potentially less protective privacy practices, with Disney disclaiming all responsibility for that data collection.

View original clause language
Please also keep in mind that our sites and applications may contain links to other sites not owned or controlled by us and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our sites or applications and to read the privacy policies of other sites that may collect your personal information.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Under GDPR Art. 13 and Art. 14, data controllers must provide transparency about data flows to third parties; a blanket disclaimer of responsibility for linked sites may be insufficient if Disney has a commercial relationship with those third parties that involves data sharing. FTC guidance on privacy policies requires that links to third-party sites be clearly distinguished from first-party content. The UK ICO's guidance on third-party links similarly requires transparency about the change in data controller. (2)
