The disclosure establishes the operational scope of information visibility within a shared account structure, informing account holders of the data exposure that occurs when account access is extended to household members or other users.
The updated privacy statement now explicitly discloses that Netflix collects voice inputs including transcripts and recordings when users interact with voice-related features, and that it makes inferences about user and household preferences for ad targeting purposes. The statement adds a new section titled 'Supplemental Privacy Disclosures for US Residents' that references a separate US State Privacy Notice containing 'Notice at Collection' details, alongside new subsections covering personal information collection, uses, disclosure for business purposes, data sales or sharing, retention, use of de-identified information, appeals rights, and financial incentive notices. The change brings the privacy statement into alignment with state privacy laws like CCPA and similar frameworks. You can access the US State Privacy Notice by clicking the provided link, visiting netflix.com/privacy#states, or scrolling to the new US residents section.
View change record →The updated privacy statement reorganizes and consolidates disclosures rather than expanding data collection practices. However, the statement removes explicit reference to the US State Privacy Notice from the main body, requiring users to navigate to supplemental sections to access state-specific privacy rights and disclosures. The revised language also removes the prior statement that Netflix makes inferences about household ad preferences, and removes mention of voice inputs and transcripts from the usage information description, narrowing the scope of explicitly disclosed data collection practices. You can access US state privacy notices by navigating to the 'Supplemental Privacy Disclosures for Certain Services' section or visiting netflix.com/privacy#states.
View change record →The provision places responsibility on the account holder to understand that granting account access results in other users gaining visibility into personal information, viewing activity, and preferences stored on that account. Users who share account access operate under the understanding that such information becomes accessible to those additional users.
