Why it matters

When your data is transferred internationally, the legal protections that apply to it may change depending on the destination country, potentially reducing your privacy rights.

Consumer impact

Netflix collects extensive personal data including viewing history, device identifiers, payment details, and advertising interests inferred from your activity on third-party websites and apps, which are used to serve behavioral advertisements on supported tiers. Data is shared with a broad network of service providers, advertising companies, and business partners, and may be transferred internationally. You can opt out of behavioral advertising and manage your cookie preferences through your Netflix account settings or by visiting netflix.com/adchoices.

Applicable agencies

  • State Attorney General
    State AGs in California, New York, Texas, and other states can investigate violations of state consumer protection and privacy laws, including CCPA (California), SHIELD Act (New York), and equivalents.
    Who can file: Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws β€” primarily California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah
