Netflix collects data about what you watch, pause, abandon, and how long you browse before choosing. This information is analyzed to improve recommendations and is also shared with outside partners for advertising and analytics. Most users assume streaming habits are private, but sharing occurs by default unless settings are changed. The opt-out process must be done through the desktop website, not through mobile or TV apps. After signing in, you open Account, go to Manage profiles, expand the specific profile, and navigate to Privacy and data settings. You then toggle off all available options related to third-party tracking and data sharing. Privacy settings apply per profile, so each profile must be updated separately.
"Netflix knows everything you watch. Every show you start and abandon after one episode. Every movie you pause to check your phone. Exactly how long you spend browsing before choosing something. All of this data gets collected, analyzed and shared with third parties. Most people assume their streaming habits are private. They aren't. While Netflix tracks your behavior to improve recommendations, it also shares that data with outside partners for advertising and analytics."
"Unless you explicitly opt out, your watch history is being distributed by default. Fortunately, you can disable this data collection sharing entirely. You may like Open a web browser on your computer, go to netflix.com and sign into your account. You can't change this setting through the mobile app or TV app; it only works through the desktop website."
"Next, click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account" from the dropdown menu. Scroll down to the bottom and click "Manage profiles". From here, click the arrow next to your profile name to expand settings for that specific profile then scroll down once more to "Privacy and data settings." In your privacy and data settings, toggle off everything you see."
"All of these allow Netflix and third-party partners to track your viewing behavior and share your data with advertisers. This includes settings for user consent, legitimate interest, behavioural advertising, and matched identifier communications. Once disabled, Netflix stops sharing your viewing data with third parties for advertising and analytics purposes beyond what's required to operate the service. Repeat this process for each profile on your account if you have multiple users."
