Hulu's Privacy Policy explains how your data is handled, but you must also read a separate Supplemental Privacy Policy to get the full picture of your data rights. Content on the platform is not guaranteed to remain available, ads may be targeted based on your behavior, and you can download shows on no more than 10 mobile devices. You can create up to 7 profiles on a single account.
Analysis
Hulu's Privacy Policy serves as the governing instrument for user data handling, with a Supplemental Privacy Policy establishing additional data terms that together define the full scope of data rights and obligations. The Terms of Use separately govern platform access conditions. The document discloses the existence of interest-based advertising and subjects content availability to availability conditions, limiting any guarantee of specific titles remaining accessible. Platform use is further constrained by a 10-device cap on downloads and a maximum of 7 user profiles per account, while limited free streaming of select content is permitted without a paid subscription.
What this means for you
As an individual user, your data is governed by both the Privacy Policy and a Supplemental Privacy Policy, meaning you need to consult both documents to understand your full data rights. Hulu discloses that interest-based advertising is used on the platform. Practically, your account supports up to 7 profiles, downloads are limited to 10 mobile devices, and no specific content is guaranteed to remain available. Select Disney+ episodes can be streamed without a paid subscription. To understand your data rights fully, review both the Privacy Policy and the Supplemental Privacy Policy.
