The updated privacy statement now explicitly discloses that Netflix collects voice inputs (including transcripts and recordings) when using voice-related features, and clarifies that it collects inferences about user and household ad preferences based on data it gathers.

These disclosures expand transparency about data collection practices that may have been previously implied but are now stated explicitly. You can review Netflix's full privacy statement and adjust your account settings to control advertising preferences through your account settings.
