The clause places the burden of account security on the account holder and other users, meaning Netflix does not accept responsibility for access that results from their failure to secure credentials or devices.
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. The policy also states that Netflix collects information on advertiser websites and apps, and that it receives demographic and interest data from advertising companies based on their own and other websites and apps. 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.
