Netflix modified four sentences in its Privacy Statement on April 23, 2026, making minor punctuation changes and adding language about cart abandonment tracking and SMS cart reminders. The changes remove commas in subsection headers and expand the stated uses of cookies and similar technologies to explicitly include tracking shopping cart activity and sending cart reminder messages via SMS. These updates clarify and expand the technical mechanisms Netflix uses to track user behavior and communicate with users.

Netflix updated its privacy statement on April 19, 2026 to add a new section covering US state privacy requirements, clarify how it collects and uses personal information, and expand disclosure of data collection practices. The statement now explicitly includes voice inputs with transcripts and recordings as collected data, describes new inferences made about user preferences for ad targeting, and references a separate US State Privacy Notice. The changes formalize existing practices under state privacy laws and provide more granular disclosure of data categories.
