   “Netflix Marketing Providers”) may receive information from us (for example,
   the steps completed in Netflix membership process). Common uses of this type
   of information are to measure the effectiveness and optimize our marketing
   campaigns, and to avoid marketing to a device of a person that is already a
   Netflix member. Netflix uses contractual and technical measures designed to
   prevent Netflix Marketing Providers from accessing information regarding

 * Safety, security and fraud prevention: Netflix and its Service Providers may
   disclose your personal information to third parties where we reasonably
   believe disclosure is needed for the purpose of: safety, security, and fraud
   prevention.

 * Compliance with law and enforcing our Terms of Use: We may disclose your
   personal information as necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation,
   legal process, or governmental request, and processing necessary to protect

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Netflix operates from various countries around the world, as do its Service
Providers, Partners, and other third parties to whom we may need to disclose
your personal information, as described above. This means that when you use or
interact with Netflix, your personal information may be transferred to other
countries that have different data protection laws than those where you reside.

However, whenever we transfer personal information to other countries, we ensure
that the personal information is transferred in accordance with applicable data
protection laws and this Privacy Statement. Specifically, we use a variety of
contractual, technical, and organizational measures as appropriate for such
transfers, including data protection agreements, technical protections, and
practices to challenge disproportionate or unlawful government authority
requests. You can find out more about how we disclose and transfer your personal
information internationally here:
help.netflix.com/legal/personal-information-international-transfers.


SUPPLEMENTAL PRIVACY DISCLOSURES

We provide supplemental information regarding certain aspects of the Netflix
service (such as certain Netflix games features) in the section “Supplemental
Privacy Disclosures for Certain Services” below. 


SECTION B: YOUR RIGHTS AND CONTROLS


YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS 

 * Access, correct, update, or delete your personal information: You have a
   right to confirm whether we process your personal information and to access
   and receive a copy of the personal information we process about you. You may
   also correct or update out-of-date or inaccurate personal information or
   request that we delete personal information that we hold about you. 
   
   To request a copy of your personal information, please visit
   netflix.com/account/getmyinfo. In addition, under the "Account" section of
   our website, you can access and update information about your account,
   including your contact information, payment information, and various related
   information about your account. You must be logged in to access the "Account"
   section. 
   
   For information about deletion, removal, and retention of personal
   information, please see: help.netflix.com/node/100625.

 * Portability and downloading a copy of your personal information: You can
   request portability of or download a copy of your personal information. If
   you are the account owner, to download a copy of your personal information go
   to: netflix.com/account/getmyinfo. For more information, please see:
   help.netflix.com/node/100624. 

 * Objection, restriction, and withdrawal of consent: You can object to or
   request that we restrict processing of your personal information. If we have
   collected and are processing your personal information with your consent,
   then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will
   not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your
   withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information
   conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent. For
   more information, please see help.netflix.com/node/100637.

 * Right to complain: You have the right to complain to a data protection
   authority about our processing of your personal information but we encourage
   you to first contact us with any questions or concerns.  

 * Right not to be subject to automated decision making: You may have a right
   not to be subject to a decision made solely using automated means, where such
   decision would have a legal effect on you or produce a similarly significant
   effect.

You can exercise the rights described above when we receive a verified request
in accordance with applicable law.


COMMUNICATION AND MARKETING PREFERENCES

 * Email and Text Messages. If you no longer want to receive certain
   communications from us via email or text message, please access the
   “Notification settings” option for the relevant profile within the “Account”
   section of our website. Alternatively, click the “unsubscribe” link in the
   email or reply STOP (or as otherwise instructed) to the text message (note:
   you may receive a confirmation text message in this case). Please note that
   you cannot unsubscribe from transactional messages from us, such as messages
   relating to your account transactions.

 * Push Notifications. You can choose to receive mobile push notifications from
   Netflix. Netflix will send you push notifications from time to time in
   accordance with any notification preferences you have set on your mobile
   device. If you later decide you no longer want to receive these
   notifications, you can use your mobile device’s settings to turn them off (or
   via the “Notification settings” described in the preceding section). Please
   note that individual Netflix games may have their own push notifications (you
   can use your mobile device's settings functionality to turn them off). We
   also offer push notifications on certain web browsers. If you agree to
   receive those notifications and later decide you no longer want to receive
   them, you can use your browser’s settings to turn them off. 

 * Matched Identifier Communications from Netflix. Some third party services
   allow us to reach users with online marketing about Netflix content or the
   Netflix service by sending privacy protected contact information to the third
   party. Privacy protected contact information means we use deidentification
   technologies to convert the original contact information (such as an email
   address or phone number) into a value (typically a long alphanumeric sequence
   of characters) to keep the original information from being revealed. The
   third party compares Netflix’s privacy protected contact information with
   privacy protected contact information in its own database and there will be a
   match only if you have used the same contact information with Netflix and the
   third party. If there is a match, Netflix can then choose whether or not to
   send Netflix marketing to you on that third party service, and can optimize
   and better measure the effectiveness of such marketing. You can indicate your
   choices in the “Privacy and data settings” (for the relevant profile) within
   the “Account” section of our website. 

 * Marketing of the Netflix service using cookies and similar technologies. To
   exercise choice around cookies or resettable device IDs collected for
   marketing of the Netflix service or Netflix content on third party service,
   please use the tools described in the “Cookies and Internet Advertising”
   section below.


ADVERTISING CHOICES (NETFLIX AD SUPPORTED SUBSCRIPTION PLANS)

 * Behavioral Advertising Choices 
   
   If you subscribe to an ad supported subscription plan, we can present you
   with Advertisements, including behavioral advertisements. If you do not want
   to be presented with behavioral advertisements, you can indicate your choices
   by changing the “Behavioral Advertising” setting located in the “Privacy and
   data settings” menu (for the relevant profile) of the “Account” section of
   our website. 
   
   When you choose to opt out of receiving behavioral advertisements, you will
   still see Advertisements, but they will not be behavioral advertisements. If
   you opt out, we may still collect and use the information for other purposes.
   
   An option to opt out is not provided in a Kids profile because we do not
   engage in behavioral advertising on Kids profiles.

 * Digital Advertising Alliance Opt Out Control
   
   Netflix supports the following self-regulatory programs, which provide
   additional privacy choices for behavioral advertising:
   
   * In Europe: European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA)
   
   * In Canada: AdChoices: Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (DAAC) / Choix
     de Pub: l'Alliance de la publicité numérique du Canada (DAAC)
   
   * In the US: Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)


COOKIE CHOICES 

Your choices in connection with our use of cookies and similar technologies are
described in the “Cookies and Internet Advertising” section below. 


CONTACT AND QUESTIONS

If you want to exercise any of your rights, or have a question regarding our
privacy practices, please contact our Data Protection Officer/Privacy Office at
privacy@netflix.com. 


SECTION C: ACCESS TO ACCOUNT AND PROFILES

 * Sharing your account with others: As a Netflix member, if you share your
   account with others in your household, please ensure that they are aware of
   and have read this Privacy Statement. This Privacy Statement applies to their
   use of Netflix (except sections that only apply to the member, such as those
   related to payments). Please note that the member controls the Netflix
   account and all profiles, the information in the account and all profiles,
   and whether to share (or stop sharing) the account with individuals in their
   household.
   
   If you share or otherwise allow others to have access to your account, they
   may be able to see viewing information, account information in the “Account”
   section of the service, and game related information such as chat contents
   and saved game information. This remains true even when you use the profiles
   feature, although you can add a Profile Lock PIN on a profile (see
   help.netflix.com/node/114277). Please note that viewing history,
   recommendations, “continue watching” and similar information may be made
   available through various features and user experiences, such as Partner
   interfaces that are integrated with the Netflix service. 

 * Profiles: Profiles allow users on a Netflix account to have a personalized
   Netflix experience, built around the Netflix content of interest to them, as
   well as separate watch histories. Please note that profiles are available to
   everyone who uses your Netflix account, so that anyone with access to your
   Netflix account can navigate to and use, edit or delete profiles, and
   information within or associated with the profile (although, as noted above,
   you can add a Profile Lock PIN on a profile). You should explain this to
   others with access to your account, and if you do not want them to use or
   change your profile, be sure to let them know. Profile users may be offered
   the opportunity to add an email address, phone number, or other information
   to the profile and will be provided with a notice at the time such
   information is provided (the “Profile Privacy Notice” applies – see
   help.netflix.com/legal/profileprivacy). We also have various parental
   controls available and you can learn more here: help.netflix.com/node/264.

 * Profile Transfers: The profile transfer feature on your account allows you
   and users with access to your account to transfer an eligible profile from
   your account to a separate account (including information such as viewing
   history and recommendations). You can change the setting for this feature in
   the “Account” section of our website. You can learn more here:
   help.netflix.com/node/122698.

 * Account Login Features: You may have the option to use certain account login
   features, such as email-based or text message-based login, or easier login to
   the Netflix app on certain devices. Please note that any device that is
   logged into your account will remain logged in unless you log out of those
   devices (following the instructions in the section below).

 * Removing device access to your Netflix account: To remove access to your
   Netflix account from devices that are logged into the account, visit the
   “Account” section of our website, locate the “Sign out of all devices”
   option, and follow the instructions to sign out of your devices. Users of
   public or shared devices should log out at the completion of each session. If
   you sell or return a computer or Netflix ready device, be sure to first log
   out. If you or other users on the account do not maintain the security of
   your email address, password, and signed-in devices, or fail to log out a
   device you sell or return, then subsequent users on that device will likely
   be able to access your Netflix account, including your personal information.


SECTION D: COOKIES AND INTERNET ADVERTISING


USE OF COOKIES

We, our Service Providers, Netflix Marketing Providers, and Advertising
Companies use cookies, other similar technologies (such as pixel tags), and
resettable device identifiers for various reasons. This section explains the
types of technologies used, what they do, and your corresponding choices. To
choose whether or not to receive cookies and similar technologies, please see
the section below “How can I exercise choice regarding these technologies?”


COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES, PIXEL TAGS, AND RESETTABLE DEVICE IDENTIFIERS

Cookies are small data files that are commonly stored on your device when you
access websites and online services. The text in a cookie contains a string of
numbers and letters that may uniquely identify a device and can contain other
information as well. This allows the web server to recognize your browser each
time it connects to that web server. 

We use other technologies such as browser storage and plugins (for example,
HTML5, IndexedDB, and WebSQL). Like cookies, these other technologies may store
small amounts of data on a device. Pixel tags often work in conjunction with
cookies. In many cases, declining cookies will impair the effectiveness of pixel
tags associated with those cookies.

If you use a Netflix app (such as the main Netflix app, or a Netflix game app)
on a mobile device, tablet, or streaming media device, we may collect a
resettable device identifier from your device. Resettable device identifiers can
be used like cookies and are found on many mobile devices and tablets (for
example, the “Identifier for Advertisers” on Apple iOS devices and the “Google
Advertising ID” on Android devices), and certain streaming media devices. Like
cookies, resettable device identifiers are used to make online advertising more
relevant, and for analytics and optimization purposes. 


WHY DOES NETFLIX USE THESE TECHNOLOGIES?

We use these types of technologies for various reasons, including to provide our
service (for example, by making it easy to access our service by remembering you
when you return); to administer and operate our business, to research, analyze
and improve our services (for example, to improve site performance, monitor
visitor traffic and actions on our site, and to test the effectiveness of our
user interface); to send marketing and informational messages (for example, to
deliver and tailor our marketing, and to understand interactions with our
emails, marketing, and marketing on third party services); to operate our ad
supported subscription plan; for safety, security and fraud prevention; and to
comply with law and enforce our Terms of Use. These technologies enable Netflix
Marketing Providers to collect personal information (such as the pages you visit
and device and network information) when you use our services, and Netflix
Marketing Providers may also collect information about your online activities
over time across different websites.

We use pixel tags in our emails to understand how members interact with our
services. Our use of pixel tags helps us understand when links within messages
are clicked, or the emails are opened. 

Netflix uses resettable device identifiers to display marketing for our service
or Netflix content on third party services, and to operate our ad supported
subscription plan (including delivering Advertisements to you).

To learn more about the types of cookies used by Netflix, please click here. 


HOW CAN I EXERCISE CHOICE REGARDING THESE TECHNOLOGIES? 

 * To exercise choice regarding cookies
   
   For more information about cookies set through our service and to exercise
   choices regarding cookies, click here. We do not currently respond to web
   browser “do not track" signals.

 * To exercise choice regarding resettable device identifiers 
   
   To exercise choice regarding Netflix’s use of resettable device identifiers
   (for marketing the Netflix service or Netflix content, or as used in
   connection with an ad supported subscription plan), please configure the
   appropriate setting on your device (usually found under "privacy" or "ads" in
   your device settings). If you choose not to allow this, you may still see
   marketing messages promoting Netflix (and Advertisements if you subscribe to
   an ad supported subscription plan) on that device but it will not be selected
   based on the use of a resettable device identifier. Note that your choice
   regarding the resettable device identifier is specific to that device. 

 * To exercise choice regarding other similar technologies
   
   In addition to any choices we may offer you in the Netflix service, there are
   several ways to exercise choice regarding technologies that are similar to
   cookies, such as browser storage and plugins (for example, HTML5, IndexedDB,
   and WebSQL). For example, many popular browsers provide the ability to clear
   browser storage, typically in the settings or preferences area. See your
   browser's help function or support area to learn more. Most email clients
   have settings that allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images,
   including pixel tags, and the automatic connection to the web servers that
   host those images. Other technologies may be cleared from within the
   application.

In addition to these choices, if you subscribe to an ad supported subscription
plan and want to exercise your choices for behavioral advertising on Netflix as
part of such plan, please see “Advertising Choices (Netflix Ad Supported
Subscription Plans)” above.


SECTION E: OTHER IMPORTANT PRIVACY DISCLOSURES


SHARING FUNCTIONALITY IN OUR SERVICE

You can use sharing functionality available in our service to disclose your
personal information in the following ways:

 * certain portions of our service may give you options to share information by
   email, text message, and social or other sharing applications, using the
   clients and apps on your device; and

 * social plugins and similar technologies that allow you to share information.

Social plugins and social applications are operated by third-party social
networks, and are subject to their terms of use and privacy policies. Similarly,
some Netflix game features may require use of a third party service, which is
subject to that service’s terms of use and privacy policy.


SECURITY 

We use reasonable administrative, logical, physical, and managerial measures to
safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized
access, use and modification. These measures are designed to provide a level of
security appropriate to the risks of processing your personal information. 


RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION 

We may retain personal information as required or permitted by applicable laws
and regulations, including to honor your choices, for our billing or records
purposes, and as otherwise necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this
Privacy Statement. 

Specifically, we retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide
our service; to administer and operate our business; to research, analyze, and
improve our services; to operate our ad supported subscription plan; for safety,
security, and fraud prevention; and to comply with law and enforce our Terms of
Use. Our retention of personal information is based on many factors such as your
relationship with Netflix (for example, whether you are a current Netflix
member), the nature of the personal information, our legal obligations, and the
need to defend or resolve current or anticipated legal claims. 

We take reasonable measures to destroy or de-identify personal information in a
secure manner when it is no longer required. For information about deletion,
removal, and retention of personal information, please see:
help.netflix.com/node/100625. 


OTHER WEBSITES, PLATFORMS AND APPLICATIONS 

The Netflix service may use, be provided through  features operated by third
party platforms (such as the display of social media content, or the provision
of voice controls), or contain links to sites operated by third parties. In
addition, you may encounter third party applications that interact with the
Netflix service. These third parties have their own privacy policies. 

For example, you may be able to access the Netflix service through platforms
such as smart TVs, mobile devices, set top boxes, gaming systems, and other
internet-connected devices. These platforms have separate privacy statements,
notices, and terms of use, which we recommend you review. 

We may provide support for the Netflix service (such as an online support forum
for Netflix customer support, or a particular Netflix game). Information that
you post or make available on such sites and forums are publicly available
(unless otherwise noted on the site or forum).


KIDS

You must be at least 18 years of age or older (or the age of majority in your
country of residence) to subscribe to the Netflix service. Kids under this age
may only use the service with the involvement, supervision, and approval of a
parent or legal guardian. To assist parents or legal guardians, we have various
parental controls available and you can learn more here:
help.netflix.com/node/264.


CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT 

We will update this Privacy Statement from time to time in response to changing
legal, regulatory, or operational requirements. We will provide notice of any
such changes (including when they will take effect) as required by law. Your
continued use of the Netflix service after any such updates take effect will
constitute acknowledgement and (as applicable) acceptance of those changes. If
you do not want to acknowledge or accept any updates to this Privacy Statement,
you may cancel your account. To see when this Privacy Statement was last
updated, please see the "Last Updated" date below.
