Third-Party Disclosure and Service Provider Sharing — Netflix

Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

Netflix shares your personal data with a wide range of third-party companies — including marketers, payment processors, fraud analysts, and advertisers — to help run and improve its service.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your personal information — including usage data, payment details, and viewing history — is shared with third-party marketing, analytics, fraud prevention, and advertising companies, and Netflix's policy does not name specific recipients or limit the number of third parties that may receive your data.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

Export Your Data

Contact privacy@netflix.com to submit a data access request asking Netflix to disclose the specific categories of third parties that have received your personal information, as permitted under CCPA §1798.115 or GDPR Art. 15.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Your data travels beyond Netflix to numerous third parties across multiple industries, each with their own privacy practices, and Netflix's policy gives limited visibility into exactly which companies receive your information.

We disclose personal information to other companies that help us provide or improve the Netflix service.

We may also disclose personal information to advertising partners, other companies, and individuals that help us assess, develop, fund, or provide content, games, or other services related to the Netflix service.
